It is not now in shootable condition. It needs some work on the stock, which is split at one place and missing wood at another. The fixtures around the barrel wedge are missing, but nothing that a competent stock maker could not handle. The patent breech needs to be removed and the barrel thoroughly cleaned. If it were mine, I think I would have the stock duplicated, rather than trying to do anything drastic to it.

I will get the groove diameter of the barrel the next time I have access to the rifle.

I will pass the historical information along to the owner, who I am sure will be most grateful for it.
