They were also equipped with adjustable double set triggers and had a 1 in 48″ rifling twist to stabilize “Maxie Bullets” as well as patched round balls. Loaded with a lubed bullet and a stiff charge of black powder made these rifles suitable for any game in North America at black powder ranges. The 28″ octagon barrel has a blade /bead front sight (rear adjustable sight is missing). This example is in fine condition overall and is serial number 401480. The barrel is clearly stamped with the Thompson- Center, New Hampshire markings and caliber designation. The walnut stock has better than standard grade wood, making this an especially attractive rifle.
