I measured gun barrlell is 28 inches long the bore is 1/2 inchI saw this earlier, but just had a chance to take a good look at the pics.... Your barrel looks more like its from a break action rifle, rather than a CW era muzzle loader to me because of the lugs at the breech end, which also appears open rather than plugged. Which raises an interesting question.... What the heck is a single shot break action rifle doing with a bayonet on it? I can't think of any that were used by the military off hand.....Can you get a good measurement of the diameter of the muzzle so we can know what caliber it is?
