No. It's the pin hole type. I'm going to take one out of one of my muskets and try it in the Gallagher.

Still for sale as of now.

Is that the type (big hole) you had in before the problem started? Respectfully, Charlie Gerringer Old Dominion Dragoons

I believe you are seeing an SILE breech block from a 45-70 Sharps reproduction. They had a safety lever in that location

Now that's funny Mike!!!!!

Great!! I just sent you a message on this forum!

Hi James, I last checked email on Monday, and will be checking again tomorrow. Moosette

Yes, we are still here! Been working on some new releases!!! check use out on Facebook. They will be posted soon. thank, Moose

Yes. The only other spare musket nipples I have are older style with a bigger bottom hole, but I tried it. No change.

Little over two weeks ago, I had a brief email exchange with "Moosette" w/no delays, when I took them up on their FREE mold prep offer.

I have an older Pedersoli Sharps Carbine in 45/70 and the block doesn't have the safety shown on this block. Definitely a modern conversion.

Have you changed out the nipple before, or since, the problem started? Respectfully, Charlie Gerringer Old Dominion Dragoons

I well remember Jack roaring through the Fort in that Jeep. I often wondered how he kept from rolling it over. I suspect a touch of the barley may...

Guess it makes me old but I remember when I paid 20% to the auction house and buyer's fees hadn't been thought up yet :( Now it sounds like robbery.

The 1941 Jeep & Trailer in the auction is the same one that Jack Rawls used to drive around at Ft. Shenandoah! Al myers had purchased it from the...

The gun itself appears original to me, but the breech block and, I suspect the lever, are not. My wife used to have a 50-70 conversion and I can...

Auctions provide a service. They move large numbers of items fast. That's the upside. Downside is fees. Do I wish that the estate had gone through...

It's a repro, Italian made, that was imported and sold out of Florida about 20 years ago. I owned one. It's an 1859/1863 action convertef to center...

Sounds to me like the auction house is run buy a bunch of personal injury lawyers.☺️ Caveat Emptor, I'll pass.

Looks like the gun was beat up. Several replacement parts, the block hammer screw looks off the lever pin look repop. Lever may also not be correct.

Definitely not an original block at least. I'd be thinking on a refund.

Got your PM Gary, thx! Ive responded in kind. Many thx!
