<p>[QUOTE="Christopher, post: 202354, member: 1646"]I was able to figure out it is a pattern 1856 bar on barrel. But the marks are still stumping me, the capital G, small c, and especially those strange littIe punched dots. can't find examples anywhere. I did however discover that to determine if it is a model 1856 take a standard nickel and place it in the muzzle ring. It will fit inside almost perfectly. The outside diameter of the nickel and the inside diameter of the muzzle ring are practically identical. Later model rifles had smaller diameter muzzles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
