rifle number 1..
this is is a 45 cal mowry. two piece stock. beautiful tiger stripe maple. browned barrel and furniture , buckhorn rear sight, either brass or german silver front blade sight. sn is 10211. that is on the top of the barrel . says mowry on the left. and 45 is stamped on the right..
rifle number 2..
this rifle is a full stock flintlock. also says mowrey on the barrel. although differant spelling.. also says olney texas.. on the other side says 58..
yes this is a 58 cal.. it has an interesting lock.. in that the rear trigger has to be set before you can cock the hammer.. simple notch and blade sights.
on this one the barrel and lock are blued. while the furniture is brass.
any info you might have or anyplace you might be able to direct me to.. would be greatly apreciated.
thanks.
