This barrel includes a carbine Buckhorn style rear site, a breech block holder and a breech plug. The breech block holder is numbered 155586. The Buckhorn has a \"C\" on the left side of the base and the left top of the ladder. It moves freely as you would expect.
This is a rifle barrel, that was cut, re-tapered & crowned. A slot was milled for the front site and a carbine style front site was made and brazed onto the barrel.

The top of the front site blade is 0.36 inch off the top of the barrel.

As with any antique gun parts, have a competent gunsmith inspect these parts.
Overall, this a faithful conversion to a carbine barrel length that has a beautiful bluing. Thanks for looking.
