British percussion carbine

Hello everyone:

1 - This is a model 1796 carbine for Heavy Dragoons, transport rodless side, and two rings for transport, one in the head and the other on the forearm and barrel .65 caliber 46 "
2 - Obviously, the key (lock) has all the original records.
3 - The remains of inscriptions on the gun (barrel) are GR surmounted and the broad arrow (denoting the property of the Crown), and crossed and crowned scepters (Test Bank Tower)
4 - Conversion to percussion has still made by a gunsmith particular. It denotes the replacement cylinder head bolt (breech plug), and its replacement by a screw with fireplace (nipple). Also, the hammer is very elaborate.
5 - The stick is fixed to retrofit. The carriage is made of bronze or brass, and runs through a square cube, instead of a round ring.

Sorry for the translator ...
