For sale is a .58 caliber rifle I have been tinkering with off and on for a few years continuing a project that was started by someone else. This Georgia Armory Rifle started as an early production Zoli Zouave. The rifle is in excellent shape and I really like where it is, but unfortunately I need fund more.
Rifle has the Zoli beech stock in solid shape. Zoli barrel has had markings removed and has been deep blued. The bore is excellent and I always wanted to shoot it. Lockplate has a decent stamp and the lock internals are likely the original Zoli. The sear or tumbler will need to be fixed or replaced, as it currently has a hair trigger.
The rifle has original m1855 brass ā€˜Uā€™-stamped barrel bands and an original brass Enfield trigger guard. The buttplate and patchbox are likely the original Zoli furniture. The nose piece is of unknown provenance, but looks good and looks old. The ramrod is a new one-piece Enfield type ready to be threaded to whatever threads you like best.
Asking $900 shipped and insured to the lower 48. Reasonable offers are welcome.
Thanks!

The nosecap looks like it's from an 1855 Springfield. Does it have a Small Arms Card approval card?

The nose cap could very well be original M1855, I just can't confirm it. I have always suspected it. It does not have a card.

FYI ... Definitely not a real one... completely wrong contour

Thanks for that. Really not sure about the nose cap.

Just does not look right; appears to be hardware on an old Navy Arms Zouave stock...hammer does not line up correctly to the cone?

In my humble opinion.

The OP said in his primary post that this is based upon a Zoli Zouave to begin with.

No guarantee that it would get a SAC card, then.

The SAC has an inspection sheet with guidelines for converting a reproduction Remington M-1863 Rifle to a Georgia Armory Rifle. There is one concession allowed, and that is the patch box that comes with the reproduction rifle is allowed to be used "as-is", rather than modifying the contour or replacing it with a Harper's Ferry M-1855 Rifle brass patch box.

Mr Holland , would it be possible to get these guidelines?
