    The trapdoor is marked with the eagle proof and 1870. He confirmed that there aren't any visible serial numbers. I wonder if Bannerman or whoever was building these got the leftover parts from...

    I think I may have a lead on the mystery of the one hole sight leaf. Al Fresca had them listed (all are sold) on his site as M67 Cadet rear sights. But,
    was there such a thing as an M67 cadet...

    It certainly looks like it. At least, it's definitely not relieved on the downrange side. I'm not familiar with the musket sights (both of mine have Buffingtons), but it wouldn't be possible to...

    He's going to get it out and check tonight. I made him a sketch of where to look and asked him to check for any other markings on the rifle.

    Another odd thing I just noticed... Like Fred's #6, this one doesn't appear to have the standard stock cutout for the thumb latch (looking at the pictures, I'm not sure if it has one at all). Weird.

    Sure enough. I believe I'll pass on it unless I can get it for a good price, but I don't think he'll come too far off of his appraisal (a shame they misidentified it).

    I'm convinced I'll be...

    The one at this link (I hope that's OK to post since it's a long closed auction) also has the reverse-relieved apertures, although it has both of them. https://www.gunauction.com/buy/11150246

    I believe you're right Fred. There's something marked below the peep, it almost looks like a 2, but I can't tell. The original pictures are huge, here's a couple snippets of it zoomed in. I can't...

    Wow, that certainly is a head scratcher. I agree, evidence supports that it's probably a pieced together rifle. I found Fred's original thread. That #6 is NIIICE!

    One question: The #6 rear sight...

    Thanks JimF. It looks like you're right. It does more closely match a 1868. In that case, from what I'm reading, there should be a serial number along the left side of the receiver and barrel, which...

    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...

    You shouldn't have to hit anything to release the bolt. Once the enbloc is fully inserted, the bolt should stay back as long as you keep your thumb pressure on the top round. Once you take your thumb...
