It used North’s percussion update to the design, and a cleverly simple calming lug connected to a lever on the right side of the action to open the breech. These were smoothbore .54 caliber guns, issued to the Dragoons and used in the Mexican-American War. Contact: Forgotten Weapons 6281 N. Oracle #36270 Tucson, AZ 85740
