Custom Rifle

by Allan Sandy

  40" barrel in .54 caliber

 

 

This is a very nicely made custom rifle by Allen Sandy. It was made for the current owner. Allen is well known for his silver embellished guns, this rifle he considered a "plain" rifle according to the owner.

 

It is stocked in a moderately curly maple stained to a medium brown and finished with a hand-rubbed oil finish. The lock is an R. E. Davis Continental flintlock. The barrel is swamped 40" long in .54 caliber. There is a touch hole liner. The bore is excellent. The gun originally had set triggers but the owner had Allen change them to a single trigger. The inlet is long enough to change back to double set triggers if preferred. The brass parts have been polished to a nice satin and have some natural patina now. The steel parts are lightly browned. The inlets are very tight and styling is very clean. Comes with the woven sling pictured. Overall a very nice, well made rifle.

 

Weight is 8 lbs. 9 oz.   Pull is 13¼".
