Not the best pictures, but they are what they are.

I didn't spend much time cleaning the rifle, it would have presented a bit better if I had. I got the gun used in 2006 and just put it away.

I have looked all over for any identifying marks and I couldn't find anything! I even took off the wood fore end. Sooo, is it a Numrich Arms gun? Other? It has been converted from percussion, but that is all I know about it.

I put a new battery in my postal scale so I can weigh again! This gun weighs in at 8#- 9 ounces. Out of curiosity, I checked on swivel breech kits. WOW!! They start at a bit over $2000.00
