This is a very nice early Virginia rifle made
by me in 2008 and is lightly used. This was made for my best friend of 45
years who recently passed away and I am selling it for his widow. We only took
it out once to sight it in and it's been in a closet since then. I went over the
gun to check it out, oiled the lock and bore and polished the wood. It is ready
for a new owner.
This rifle is stocked in a piece of
nice curly maple that that is stained to a nice dark brown. The hardware is
brass cast here in my shop and has a hand-polished satin finish and a natural
patina. The barrel is a swamped Ed Rayl, 44" long in
.50 caliber. There is a touch hole liner. The lock is a Chamber's round face
Virginia style.
The steel parts have an aged brown color. The sheet brass parts were made by
me as well. Overall it is still in excellent condition with a very good bore. Inlets are tight and well done. Holds
and balances very nicely.
As I am not currently taking any more custom orders for the foreseeable future,
this may be the last chance to own one of my custom rifles.
Weight is 8 lbs. 11 oz. Pull is 14".
