“Liberty’s Hammer” by Ron Paul

The lock is a round face Chambers lock. The barrel, is a 38 inch 50 caliber, Lynn Weimer barrel. The ramrod is not original to the gun. It has probably been shot less than 50 times and has taken two deer. It is also possibly the last rifle built by Ron Paul approximately 10 years ago.
