Nice. How is the bore? Bright, dark, rusty; rifled or smooth?
Lock working order?

Good evening,

I saw this post and decided to register even though I have the page bookmarked.

If still available...I'm VERY interested in this rifle. I live in Napavine off Rush Rd but commute to Lacey (down the street from Costco) off Martin and Marvin cross streets.

Warmest regards,
James

Is it missing the barrel bands, or do you have them?

Thanks, that'd be great. Could I also ask that you include a photo of the proofmarks on the left-side of the barrel, & also measure the length of the barrel from the top end of the tang to the muzzle, & if possible check to see if the rifling is 3 or 5 grooves.
