Pedersoli make, .50cal, I am Second owner, but it had only been fired twice when I bought it. I have shot Deer,Pigs,Goats with this rifle, but it's probably still had less than 30 shots put through it in its life. Comes with a plier style die for creating the bullet shaped projectiles, a reproduction (looks antique but is not) US Army powderhorn with a 50grain measure spout. Can of caps.
