SOLD Antique squirrel rifle

[dogfood]

If this gun were a dog, it would be a dachshund.
44"bbl
61" oal
14"lop
Cosmetically, the gun looks good for it's age. But being that old it has encountered some issues.
Action works fine, but the hammer spring is jury-rigged with a coil spring.
The barrel shows rifling but probably need to be refreshed. A .30 cal buckshot pellet will roll right in and of it. Yet the fore-end of the ramrod won't.
Fron sight is a brass bead, rear sight is a whale tale.
Great ergonomics for being slightly front heavy. Set trigger and main trigger work as they should. Should tapped for a new nipple. Current one is no good.

Feel free to message me with any questions.
Shipping on this guys is gonna be a a bit much so I'm setting the price at $350.

Love dachshund's. Very nice rifle. Are you sure that lock is jury rigged? Looks like just a early date configuration. Is there a maker on it anywhere? Thank you.

I've not been fortunate to find a maker's name on it. But i'll the out the loupe tomorrow and check. There's a coil spring acting as part of the main hammer spring (broken off at the tip). It works as is, but if you want it to be more correct, ot needs a new hammer spring
