Tennessee Rifle

42" Barrel in .32 caliber

 

 

This is a nice Tennessee rifle made by J. P. Gunstocks back in the 1990s. They were stock suppliers but also produced semi-custom guns on the side. This one appears to be unfired. Overall it looks brand new. No dents or dings to the wood and no scratches in the metal. I think the name they used on the barrel, J.P. McCoy, was a reference to the well-known Hatfield and McCoy feud in West Virginia/Kentucky running from 1863 to 1891.    

 

 This rifle is stocked in a piece of curly maple with steel hardware that has been browned to a dark finish. The barrel was made by Green Mountain and is a straight 13/16" across the flats, 42" long in .32 caliber. There is a touch hole liner. The bore is excellent. The lock is a L&R Manton style. The double set triggers can be fired set or unset. Inlets are tight and well done. Overall a very nice and well styled rifle. Holds and balances very nicely.

 

Weight is 8 lbs.    Pull is 14½".
