Offering a custom 32 caliber southern poor-boy style longrifle. Builder is Jeff Sluder (maker marked JS 2-18 on left side flat). The lock, hardware and barrel are all finished in a grey steel. Maple stock has a little figure, mostly visible in the forestock. A couple small handling marks from the 4 years or so that I've taken it to the range or chasing squirrels and rabbits. Its been a great rifle, accurate and pleasant to carry. Just recently got a 36 -basically a double of this, and I don't need 2 of the same gun.
Barrel is a Green Mountain A weight swamped 44-inch with a pristine bore. Finish is deliberately left a little grainy or coarse to fit the style of the rifle. Davis double set triggers fire a Chambers Late Ketland lock. This lock has been a great sparker and generally easy on flints. Gun is fitted with a toeplate and a plain steel plate for a buttstock. Ramrod thimbles are also steel.
The gun weighs 7 pounds 9 ounces on my kitchen scale. LOP is 13 3/4 inches and overall length a hair over 60 1/2 inches.
Asking $1450, USA shipping included. Personal check or money order are good. PM for details, questions.
