Hey there. If I remember correctly, barrel length is 41”. I’m currently traveling back home from the Fort Bridger Rendezvous, so I’ll have to confirm when I return home on Tuesday. Below is a photo of the touch hole. It’s reverse-coned which consequently makes it look larger than it really is...

33? Old..? You’re just a young pup! My five-year-old shoots a 7-pound rifle. 😉

This gun is sold! Many thanks to AlexB for a pleasant transaction!

Well… what are y’all waiting for? Go ask the permission of your wife or girlfriend and then come take this bad boy off my hands!

I truly appreciate all the feedback this thread has garnered. You guys are right, of course… I suppose I won’t really know until I have it in hand as to whether it’s going to suit my intended purpose or will be too heavy to make offhand shooting feasible. I’ll keep you all posted. Rifle’s...

Beautifully executed! I love the castling at the end of the ramrod and the even finish you achieved on the lock and barrel. A rifle anyone would be proud to own.

I certainly wouldn’t rule out hunting with it if it’s well-balanced, but I was thinking about using it primarily for general target shooting, woods walks, and other club shoots. This rifle might just be the impetus for me to get to the gym more often! Right now I’m able to do about 20...

That makes two of us! 😉

Bump! Reasonable offers considered.

Just giving this a bump! The rifle’s still available for anyone interested. Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you need more details. Thanks for looking!

Just giving this a bump! The horn’s still available for anyone interested. Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you need more details. Thanks for looking!

That thing’s got tons of mojo! What a neat piece!

Thank you! I need another rifle like I need a hole in the head, but when the dealer offered to drop the price by 3 Benjamin’s, that cinched it for me. Considering I paid less than one would for a Kibler kit (not including the cost of the lock), I think I made out pretty well. I’m a big Kibler...

Thanks for your honesty and frankness. I realize that some of our members are in their sixties and seventies (or older) and have infirmities that might not allow them to shoot a 16 pound rifle. Still… I recognize that a 16 pound rifle is a beast no matter how you slice it, regardless of your age...

I was shooting next to a gentleman with a 1803-pattern rifle at a recent club shoot. His lock sure seemed plenty fast to me! He took first place (as he frequently does).

Some interesting insights and opinions here. I read somewhere that Harry Pope, (famed barrel maker and Scheutzen-competition shooter) once said that a man's offhand rifle ought to weigh 16 pounds and a woman’s 12 pounds, so there’s obviously differing schools of thought on the matter. The...

I just picked up this pretty little thing: a .50 cal custom halfstock that tips the scale at a whopping 16 pounds! It was actually labeled as a “bench” rifle by the dealer, but I intend to shoot it offhand and use it for general target shooting, as I tend to prefer a heavier rifle. I can’t help...

I’m actually planning on attending the Fort Bridger Rendezvous this coming weekend, and I will be passing through that area.
