Last night, I took a few pictures of the gun over at my buddy's place as he now owns this fine rifle. I've spoken often about her, and of course miss her badly. When we made this rifle, the English flat bottomed breeches weren't available on the market, however the proper locks and bars for them, were. Taylor filled in the slanted lock plate cut and fitted the sliver brazed (filler)piece to the Hawken bolster we used. On my monitor, these pictures are quite dark, but on Brad's they were just fine. Hopefully they will be light enough to see wood grain, etc, here, on the forum.
: The rear sight has 3 flip-up leaves plus the standing point blank sight. The last leaf is sighted for 328yards, which is 300 meters. IT is used on the steel plate at the local rendexvous & has never missed. I can say that now as I no longer own the rifle. The point blank sight is zero'd for 80-100 yards, depending on the charge. With my hunting load, the 1st leaf is 150yd. and second is 200 yd.
: This rifle is now 20 years old & has killed many moose and deer.
