One of these days, I'm going to add one to my own collection. I've always wanted a Smith Carbine.
That's a beautiful example Em.

I like the Smith because it's so sleek. It seems like a handy little carbine. They're hard to find now, and getting expensive too.
Someday......

Yep, 50 caliber bullet. It is a sleek gun, but surprisingly heavy for it's size. Barrel, receiver, lock, barrel band, trigger guard, butt-plate, sling swivels are all steel. I just weighed it....7 pounds, 8 ounces.

I changed out the musket cap nipple for a #11 nipple. Works great!

Yes, the breech locking latch is a bit stiff. Mine has gotten better with use...and lube.
