Here is a comment from Nate
I would like to point out to anyone who has not looked at it, the rifle that Mule Brain has for sale by Jerry Kirklin is an outstanding example of a recreation of an original rifle. In my own opinion , having seen many fine renditions throughout the years of this iconic rifle , this one is as true and finely executed as a person could possibly ask for. I have no idea how much access Mr Kirklin had to the original piece nor have I ever viewed this piece or the original in person, only studying them in depth as possible in photos. This is not meant to take anything away from the other fine copies of this piece , only to point out a nice one! I have NO interest in the sale of this rifle, only regret that I do not have the funding at present to buy it for myself. I just wanted to point out to other lovers of these guns , a fine specimen!!! Thanks Nate
