SOLD - Pending funds Gorgeous Custom .45 Swivel Breech Flintlock Rifle

[BigSkyRambler]

This is a drop-dead gorgeous custom built swivel breech flintlock rifle. Its .45 caliber 38" barrels have a 1:66 twist and excellent bores. The top flat of one barrel is engraved with the name "Jack Fuller". Not sure if mister Fuller was the builder, as no information on a builder by that name can be found. The nicely figured Maple stock is brass fitted and has several German Silver inlays, all engraved. The stock also has nicely executed incise and relief carving. Rope burned ramrod with brass tip. LOP is 14.25. Rifle weighs 11.2 lbs. Shows very little use. A finely crafted swivel breech rifle by a talented craftsman. Similar rifles by renowned builders such as Leonard Day and David Price sell for considerably more than asking price. $3000 + Shipping.

Careful. If you look at too much gun porn, you will end up like Quagmire.

Dang that’s sweet.
I have often wondered how rugged the swivel mechanism is. Are they known for durability?

As long as they are treated well. In a fall, probably no more likely to break than the thin wrist of a longrifle or modern rifke or shotgun with separate buttstock. The two faces of the mechanism are pulled together by a longitudinal bolt that can be tightened.
