    Another What the heck do I have thread. 69 Caliber Rifled Conversion?

    Hi, I picked this up in a estate. I have no history or stories on it. Appears Arsenal Quality Work. I am very weak past Bread & Butter Civil War stuff. Thanks in advance.

    That is a Miles Greenwood conversion. They were done in Cincinnati for the State of Ohio.

    You are welcome. And since the rear sight was unique to Greenwood altered arms and only about 5000 were rifled and sighted replacement sights/ parts are almost impossible to find.
