Stocked in walnut, with 15/16" octagon barrel with hooked breech, color hardened percussion lock, and brass triggerguard. This Plains Pistol has the classic 1830 era bag butt architecture. This is a very comfortable grip, large enough for man sized hands, with enough drop and curve to make aiming as instinctive as pointing your finger. The pistol includes a sideplate that replaces the belt hook.
The 15/16" octagon barrel is 8" long and finished with a deep blue color. Rifled with six equal lands and grooves. The barrel has a 1 in 30" twist ideal for pistol shooting a patched round ball.The barrel is fitted with blued steel blade front sight and flat top rear sight. The barrel is marked with the Italian proof marks and PLAINS PISTOL .50. The hooked breech, and single wedge key, allow the barrel and breech plug to be dismounted with only finger pressure. No tools are needed to dismount this barrel for cleaning, but you should use our #NW-160 nipple wrench, sold separately, to remove the new stainless steel nipple, when flushing the barrel.
The grip rail of the brass triggerguard is mounted with two blued steel screws. The forend is fitted with a blued steel forend cap, with integral ramrod hole. A 3/8" diameter ramrod serves this pistol. We highly recommend using a pistol loading rod to service and clean the pistol. Order our pistol loading #PL-6-50 rod with .50 caliber jag and ball starter, which is ideal for use with this pistol. We also make #RAMROD-082-LPP (unbreakable delrin) or #RAMROD-082-LPP-H (hickory) 3/8" ramrod with brass tips threaded 8-32 at front, 10-32 at rear, as a replacement part, sold separately.
This will make a fine companion piece, for your .50 caliber percussion Hawken, Great Plains, or Mountain rifle! This is a new, unfired pistol. Stock photo shown.
