Just got this today. Cast both original Christmas Tree style and Richmond 54cal bullets this morning, then test fired this afternoon with 40-50 grains 3FG Schutzen. Really nice bore with strong rifling and only minor pitting. Shot well. Trigger is too heavy, needs some adjustment, but the breech block is nice and tight with no noticeable gas leakage. Serial numbers, markings, and cartouches all visible and as they should be. Very impressed with this old gun! Psyched to have it in my collection. Now to make a bunch of paper cartridges for it.
