What a beautiful piece of work! When the video first opened up and showed the profile of the rifle the first thing I thought of was a CVA Mt. Rifle. Sure did give me some ideas! :grin:

Wow...Just incredible, really,really nice. :wink:

Nice gun, and great inletting work. But, it seems hard to KILL OLD WIVES TALES, now, doesn't it? That nonsense about soaking the hickory Ramrod in Coal oil for a couple of weeks. Considering when the gun was made, that was about the time my gun Club members totally debunked the idea that soaking a ramrod in coal oil make it stronger, or more limber at all! :shocked2: :blah: :rotf: :hmm: :thumbsup:

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. Now if mine was only a bigger bore...

I came back to gaze once again at this rifle, Would the triggerguard and buttplate be german silver or brass ? I have one almost as old and would perhaps like to add a silver triggerguard such as this. Thanks for posting.

"All handmade lock and triggers".....looks like a siler to me with old set triggers from Spain. :wink:

The insured value of this rifle is $18,000.00 At auction it would likely bring between $12,000.00 to $15,000.00

Got his decimal point off a little. :wink:

Obviously the work of a skilled craftsman but $18K? I would venture the production costs of the video was greater than the true value of this rifle. That said, I wouldn't be ashamed to carry this rifle in the Rockies with elk as my objective.

 

The video could have been edited down to about a minute. Painfully slow zooming, on the same spot, a half dozen times is ridiculous. It looked like the cameraman just got a new zoom lens and couldn't stop using it.

Nice rifle.

I tried to make a post on this subject twice and could not get it worded nicely so I decided to just agree with you.

Thanks Grizz that was really enjoyable it is a nice looking rifle, I am partial to silver trim and that is an exceptional example.
