This is a nice little rifle made by Nate Stephenson. It is lightly used and
in like new condition.
It is stocked in a very nice piece of figured walnut with raised and incised
carving. The lock is a Chamber's English style with nicely done engraving. The barrel is swamped
31" long and in .40 caliber.
I haven't pulled the barrel but it is most likely made by Rice Barrels. It has a touch hole liner.
The guard, sideplate and buttplate are engraved in a typical English pattern
with the boar's head and panoply of arms. The steel parts are all deeply
browned. The inlets are very tight and styling is very clean.
Overall a very nice, well made rifle.
Weight is 8 lbs. 12 ozs. Pull is 14½".
