My sister got the family percussion gun my great-great grand dad had. Made by a father/son that lived on the Somerset/Bedford line. Not sure which one made it, and they lived side by side, but in different counties. Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

It is still in great shape and looks like a Trap Door Springfield converted to a bolt action. I would guess many of the fittings were interchangeable. It shoots fine, but I haven't taken it hunting.

I have taken deer with it in Alabama and Texas. Memento mori ( remember you must die) enjoy every day for tomorrow you may not wake You can always borrow and pay the money back but you can never get the time back Everyone hunter should own a fine rifle, life is short.
