Some noteable of the features on this rifle are; Wrought Iron Barrel with Hand Made Brass barrel keepers. Hand crafted bimetal rear sight of brass and iron. Hand Forged Wrought Iron Breech Plug. Sand cast trigger guard and buttplate from hand carved wooden moulds. Hand-forged trigger and trigger plate. Hand made pierced sideplate made from cast sheet brass.
