I am asking $1,750 $1,650 $1600 shipped for this fine rifle. It will be shipped in a wood crate and will include a replacement frizzen and double ball mold (.530 if my memory serves me correctly).

What sights are on it? Have you shot and and if so will you share its favorite load?

The sights are quite rudimentary— like what you’d find on a Kibler. I haven’t altered them or staked them yet, as I’ve really only had this rifle out a couple times. I regret to say that I haven’t had the opportunity to work up a load for it. Here’s a video of me shooting it at approximately 35 yards. I believe I was using 55 grains of 3F here.

Thank you!

My pleasure! It’s really a great rifle, and I’m sure I’ll regret getting rid of it. I truly believe that it’s worth two/three times what I’m asking for it in terms of the work that went into building this piece.

Don’t be like every other Tom, Dick, and Harry! Here’s your opportunity to separate yourself from the pack and own a truly unique, one-of a-kind rifle.

Still here, still awesome, and still waiting for the right buyer!
