A couple years back I bought a couple of rifles from a collector. One was what appears to be a new unfired JBM rifle. This one is brass. No box or paperwork. Photos upon request.

Please do
Per the rules, make sure you add a picture of the rifle along with a piece of paper with your forum name and the date.
Lets try to get the last three in larger format too.
Will do in the morning when I can again take a photo.
Very nice,,, the .54 is getting rare
Awesome rifles. Great quality. Have the same one in 50.

Not to derail your add, but what kind of jag is that on your ram rod? It is interesting 
That's a TC jag.

A gem of a rifle! Someone's in for a treat.
Thanks for the info on the Jag. I owned two JBMRs (Johnathan Browning Mountain Rifle) in the late 70's. I used them almost daily.
Since there are way more JBMR owners and or admirers on here there are two tips that I can share.
1, Pin your ramrod tips. If the hudmitity drops the wood can shrink back from the brass. Next thing you know is that you have a jag and a ram rod tip stuck at the breach.
2, When compared to other rifles such as early TC rifles the JBMR can have a soft barrel. Cleaning can damage the rifling at the muzzle. Cleaning rods with centering collars will help protect the barrels. The groups on my rifles started to open up at around 10000 shots fired. I was not using a centering device on my cleaning rods. Lesson learned.
