New England Rifle (AL4489)

.50 caliber. Unusual rifle in that it was made with a British lock with a “Crown GR and Tower” marks. Barrel length is 36” and overall 51”. The rifle has a typical New England type patchbox cover and is easily identified. In our experience most of these rifles are not maker marked. This rifle has some caked on grease on the barrel. There is no rust or pits, just solidified grease. We cleaned some of it but it needs more. Overall a very fine example with a very appealing look.
