SOLD - Pending funds Horace Dimick Style .50 Cal Half-stock Rifle

[TrailWalker]

This is a really pretty, well-made rifle in the style of Horace Dimick. It is a .50 caliber brass-fitted halfstock with German silver patchbox. Its 35" heavily browned barrel has an excellent bore. Top flat has “R. Byers” in script. Roger was an established and respected builder of rifles for a great many years. The tiger maple stock has been stained dark. Minimal handling marks. This rifle has obviously seen very little use. LOP is 13.75". Weighs 9 lbs. This guy has a single phase (adjustable) set trigger. You must “set” the rear trigger prior to firing.

I’m asking $1000 shipped for this fine rifle. I accept most forms of payment to include electronic options.

What a pretty rifle.

And let me tell you… she shoots as good as she looks! I’m no crack-shot, and I took second place with this rifle at last month’s club shoot. I was just a couple points away from beating the gentleman who’s regularly “top dog”. Not too shabby, considering I had only shot it once before.

I really think that if someone were to put in the time with this rifle, they’d be a force to be reckoned with!

Not good at valuing these things, but.....
That is the most beautifully functional rifle I have seen on this forum. Form and function in perfect harmony. Wow ! Everything about her says, "Show me off and then take me hunting". The wood is gobstopper. Good luck on your sale.

Thanks for saying so!

It won’t be easy letting it go, but I’m a flintlock shooter first and foremost.

Not surprised. Got people selling lesser ones for 2-3x the price! Nothing but respect for the fair price
