Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds A Really Nice .50 Pedersoli "Dixie Cub"

I bought this fine little .50 caliber last month as part of a package deal that included a .32 caliber I really wanted (needed?). My plans were to sell it immediately. But it was so nice I've had a hard time pulling the trigger. Now it's got to go to finance another project.

It weighs in at an easy carrying 6 & 1/2 pounds. Total length is 44 inches, with a 28" barrel. You can walk all day with this one.

The length of pull is 13 & 1/4", perfect for a small framed person or heavy winter clothes.

The pictures tell you everything else you need to know except the price, which is $425 shipped to your door.

The stock is blemish free except for one spot. The previous owner evidently tapped in the barrel pins in one spot with a hammer. I got as good of a close-up of that area as I could.

The bore is pristine and so shiny it was hard to get a really good picture. So I took one with a white light and one with a green light. Those "spots" you see in the picture are not pits, and not visible to the naked eye (probably dust).

How does it shoot?

Here�s a report on my one and only range session with it.

YOU REALLY NEED THIS GUN! (And I really need your cash.)

If only it were a .32

If it were a .32 it wouldn't be for sale Hawken.

I picked this one up in a package deal along with a .32 Frontier model in caplock. I've already ordered a L&R Lock and touch hole liner from Track of the Wolf to convert the .32 to flintlock. It's a simple "drop-in" fit.

Thought about doing the same thing with the .50 cub, but I already have too many 50's.

Somebody please buy this fine rifle. I need the cash for another gun.

Can't figure out how to put a *SOLD* in the topic line, or delete the post.

Anyway, the gun is Sold & Shipped. DANG, ya missed a good'un!
