Jeff, I was hoping that U would be the one to say, "Hey wait a minute sumthin ain't right here."
Anyway I can't take credit for building that rifle. However Nathan Choate of Auburn, NY can...and he did it around 1870. The cleanness of line and fit and finish are really something to behold. His work was very similar to Morgan James and George Feriss.
I have seen pictures of targets, where the letter W was shot with 11 consequtive shots in the area the size of a 1/2 dollar at 220 yards with a muzzleloading rifle.
