I'll Tip My Hat

Recommended Posts

To anyone who can tell me what firearm this cartridge was chambered for. 

Start guessing.

Gotta be close unless you have a big quarter. I'll go .54

I'm sure it's over .50, but normally I don't mic picks🤔

It's .52 if that helps

US Maynard Cavalry 50 Carbine 

Whoa, how did I miss this? Yes Maynard .52

They came in .33, .50 and .52

The cartridge has no primer, just a flash hole. Paper caps like we had in cap guns as kids then later percussion caps were fitted.
