Configured in .54 caliber with a 1-round capacity typical of a muzzleloading rifle, this Great Plains Rifle keeps to a straightforward, traditional layout. The percussion sidelock action uses an external hammer and is paired with a double trigger in a set-trigger style for a more precise trigger option.
The 32" octagonal barrel is secured to the half-stock with two wedge keys, matching the classic plains rifle format. The dark finish and traditional metal furniture, including the crescent buttplate, reinforce the period-correct look and handling characteristics.
Sighting is handled by open iron sights, with a dovetailed front blade and a rear open sight. The length of pull is 14.0, and the rifle is listed as full-size, making it well-suited to shooters looking for a traditional long gun profile.
