York Rifle

by Homer Dangler

  42" barrel in .50 caliber

 

 

This is a nice York style rifle by Homer Dangler. Here is a nice article on Homer. Click here. Homer was well known in the muzzle loading community. He passed away in December 2019 at the age of 94. His browning solution and stock stains have been around for many years and still available.

 

It is lightly used and in very good condition. It is stocked in curly maple stained to a medium brown. The barrel is a straight 42" long, ⅞" across the flats in .50 caliber. I haven't pulled it to check the maker but might be a Green Mountain barrel. There is a touch hole liner. The bore is excellent. The lock is a large Siler flint. It has a single set trigger which needs to be set before cocking and firing. The gun is mounted in brass with a natural patina. There is light engraving on the sideplate, guard and buttplate. Inlets are tight and well done. Overall a nice and well styled rifle.

 

Weight is 9 lbs. 3 oz.   Pull is 14".
