This is an extremely nice York style rifle by James Fleenor. This lock has been
snapped but I don't think it has been fired. The pictures don't do this gun
justice. It not only has quality parts but excellent workmanship. The engraving
alone is worth half the price of the rifle, and look at what you get for the
other half!
This rifle is stocked in a nice piece of walnut
with German silver hardware. The patchbox and the rest of the metal parts are
very neatly engraved. The inlay under the cheek holds a touch hole pick. The
pierced inlay under the forearm is well done and is a nice touch.
The barrel is
a swamped 44" long "A" weight Rice in
.36 caliber. It has a deep browned finish. There is a touch hole liner. The bore
is excellent. The lock is an L&R Durs Egg that has been engraved and
case-colored.
The double set triggers are by L&R as well and 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. 5 oz. Pull is 14½".
