That's a great you got there. I love how shorter-barreled rifles shoulder. And i normally hunt deep in the bush. Navigating thicket while always having to be mindful of a longer barrel is...shall we say, inconvenient. I'm keen to see how it all turns out. Keep us posted! Cheers, dgfd

Hey all, I got to wondering today about stock/grip shape. Unmentionable rifles have pistol grip stocks, but I don't think I've ever seen a pre-1865 rifle with one. The european shützen rifles kinda come close, but is there any reason a full pistol grip stock shape didn't appear until later? Is...

Absolutely stunning! Crazy impressive that they got reunited. Good on ya!

Near picture! Any idea of the identity of the soldier or his unit? (not the one his revolvers are pointing at)

That sounds like it's going to be quite the rifle. Please post pics when it comes in. What made you go for the 7/8" over the 13/16"? Cheers, dgfd

That's a sweet-looking rifle, right there. I'm interested to hear how it shoots with that peep sight.

Between jobs right now. So downsizing my collection. Got this as an Xmas gift but I figured I should sell it before i fall in love with it. Pietta mfg .44 cal 1860 large grips cut for shoulder stock adapter. New in box and unfired. I'm in SW Ohio but totally willing to ship. $350+ shipping...

It's a 1:66 so made specifically for round ball. Not sure how determine the depths of the groove, nor what classifies as deep groove, I sorry to say. Cheers, dgfd
