Back in the day they planted it out on the arm above the bicep. Not the most comfortable I assure you!

Very nice! Even since I read "The Life And Times Of Billy Dixon" where he made his historic shot with his Big 50 to save the day I've lusted for one. Now, you need one of those steel buffalo targets to bang away on.

Nice! Looking forward to a shooting report.
An empty weapon is just a very expensive hammer.

Actually, unfortunately, it leads terribly!!
I'm probably going to have John Taylor reline it in .22 long rifle to make it shoot. too bad, but, you can push a .22 bullet thru the bore easily by hand. When you push a tight fitting patch thru from the muzzle, you get 1" long shards of lead!!
Ol' girl just wasn't maintained inside. But, we'll get 'er shooting again!!

Perazzi,
Sounds like a prior owner got hold of some 22 rounds with Arsenic in the mix instead of Antimony. the result is a bore that strips lead from the bullet and gets it packed into the grooves.
A quick & effective way of removing lead without doing any damage to the bore is to wrap several strands of 'ALL COPPER' Chore Boy (sp) pot scrubber around the diameter and woven into the brass bristles. Then pull the wrapped brush through the bore from the breech to the muzzle.
Very Very important that you use an ALL COPPER strand. Anything harder couldl damage your rifling.
If it's leaded as much as it sounds, you're going to have to do this a few times. I do this after every match with my 45's to clean out any lead. 5 or 6 strokes and the bore looks like new.
FWIW

OK, so you have to shoot at tiny buffalo targets! You still get to "work" that wonderful old action design. For a while I owned one of the Remington rolling blocks in 43 egypt
