German Silver Mounted Longrifle

by Don Greene

42" barrel in .40 cal

 

 

This is a very nice custom longrifle made by Don Greene of Staunton, VA and is lightly used.    

 

 This rifle is stocked in a piece of very nice curly maple that that is stained to a nice medium brown.  The hardware is German silver with a bright polish. The barrel is a straight 13/16", 42" long in .40 caliber. Don rifled his own barrels from Green Mountain blanks and were known for their accuracy. There is a touch hole liner. The bore is dusty but excellent condition. The lock is a W. C. Cochran late flint style. The steel parts have a deep brown color. The double triggers must be set before cocking and firing. There is a small oval inlay on the bottom of the stock with a previous owner's initials. This is a nice slender gun. It is fine as is but some engraving on the silver parts would really dress this gun up nicely.

 

Overall excellent workmanship. Inlets are tight and well done. Holds and balances very nicely.

 

Weight is 7 lbs. 12 oz.    Pull is 14".
