What’s Included
- Davide Pedersoli Kentucky Percussion .50 caliber muzzleloader rifle
The rifle uses a percussion cap sidelock ignition with a brass splash/flash cup around the nipple, paired with a case-colored lock and hammer. The double-set trigger arrangement provides a traditional trigger setup consistent with Kentucky-style rifles.
Its 35-inch steel octagonal barrel wears a blued finish and is marked "PEDERSOLI – ITALY CAL. 50 BLACK POWDER ONLY." Sighting is via dovetailed open sights, with a blade front and an open rear, both set into the barrel for secure alignment.
The full-length walnut stock is fitted with brass furniture, including a trigger guard with a finger spur, a nose cap, and thimbles, and it terminates in a crescent buttplate. Length of pull measures 12.5 inches, offering a compact traditional stock geometry.
Proof and maker markings include the Gardone/Brescia proof house crest, a star over "PN," the Pedersoli "dp" oval, and the boxed "CB" Italian date code. The "CB" code corresponds to 2007, aligning the rifle’s proof year with its Italian manufacture and reproduction designation.
