Re: muzzle loader at auction

This is certainly one very nice carbine and thank you for sharing.

I am quite impressed with the workmanship of the overall weapon and also the bullet mold itself with regards to fit and finish. A total utilitarian item but finished to a level of art. This I am sure was an expensive piece when first made.

I didn't see any mention of bore size, just curious about what the caliber is of the carbine? I suppose one could estimate it by comparing some of the pictures and then guessing at reasonable known dimensions of firearms. For example I would estimate the width of the breech to be around 1.250" (31-32 mm). Then maybe one could work out what the powder charge may be. Just musing on a cold winter's morn.
