It's a bit of a dog but I couldn't resist for £195.00. It's been made up from different bits, i.e barrel and action is from a 3 band and it still has the original ramrod fitting on the front. The stock is from a 2 band and only reaches about 2/3rds along the barrel. It's missing the 2nd barrel band anyway so I thought of "carbineising". I think there was a carbine version (1871???) with about a 21" barrel so that will solve all the problems in one hacksaw cut. I'll have to get the muzzle re-crowned but I think it will look a treat. Anyone got any suggestions, hints etc??

It hasn't arrived yet but as soon as it does I'll post some pics.
