Questions about a 2nd Allin conversion
Hey guys. A friend of mine has this rifle that he might be willing to part with, but I've never owned an Allin conversion before and wanted to get some opinions on it. It's in pretty solid condition with a good patina, except where someone has heavily cleaned the outside of barrel past the front band. The lock is dated 1864, and there are no visible serial numbers. He doesn't have a picture of the breech block markings but he said he'd dig it out of the safe and check those. What strikes me as odd about it is the location of the rear sight. It's set several inches forward of the receiver. Weren't all of these made with the rear sight immediately in front of the receiver? Thanks in advance for any help.
