Thanks Steve. Not sure I'd agree on the barrels being shortened. 26" and 28" barrels were pretty much standard on all the big bore BPE Reilly rifles in my database. I hadn't noticed the cracked wrist.
Any idea about that firing pin set-up? It looks almost like an original pinfire but the whole thing is strange. There are a number of other Reilly rifles from this time period, all with 26-28" barrels and some are pinfires. I can post them if it would help history.
