[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 10171891, member: 301"]That's a strange split..... I'm not thrilled that the gun seems to be all one color ... except , the nipple assembly and the stock that sits next to it... Missing the lock plate.... so no info there , but can you read the markings on the hammer ! ?? [IMG]https://korns.org/gunsmiths/percussion-conversion-3122023/percussion-conversion-372023b.png[/IMG] worth looking at..... [URL]https://korns.org/gunsmiths/percussion-conversion-3122023/percussion-conversion-3122023.html[/URL] Maybe......... ' maybe ' .... a flintlock conversion..... and when it was pressed into service..... too strong a charge , poorly formed ball combined to blow the gun to hell..... rendering it a throw away..... at the time !! I'm a story teller..... and that kinda fits..... but there could be other explanations... Seasons Greetings ![/QUOTE]
