- Original box
The Signature Series configuration pairs a 32" blued octagonal barrel with a 1:66 twist tailored for round ball performance. The right-hand percussion sidelock uses an external hammer with a snail/bolster at the breech, staying faithful to traditional plains rifle mechanics.
The hardwood stock follows a Hawken/plains profile and includes a cheekpiece for a classic shoulder fit. The barrel is secured by two transverse wedge keys with oval escutcheons, and an under-rib with thimbles is fitted beneath the barrel. Steel furniture includes a crescent buttplate, steel nosecap, and toe plate.
Sighting is traditional: a dovetailed front blade paired with a dovetailed open rear sight. The double set triggers provide a crisp, period-correct trigger system in keeping with the rifle’s overall design.
Proofs and markings are comprehensive: CIP "PN" black powder proof, the Gardone proof crest, a boxed "20" date code, the Pedersoli "dp" maker’s mark, and "BLACK POWDER ONLY – ITALY /20" on the barrel. The rifle is a single-shot muzzleloader with a capacity of 1 round.
Key dimensions and specs include a 13.75" length of pull, blued metal finish, and open sights. Manufactured in Italy by Davide Pedersoli, this Signature Series release carries an MSRP of $1,049.99.
