Of interest, a First Model Maynard 50 Cal. Carbine which was probably a C.S.A. purchase.  Bore appears to be original condition. Traced to one, Zachariah D. Waters, previously of Montgomery County, Maryland.  How Z.D. Waters came into possession of the Maynard carbine is not fully known.  It has been suggested, however, that he acquired it from a Confederate soldier who was passing through Montgomery County, Maryland after one of the various Civil War battles in Pennsylvania or Maryland.
