FOR SALE Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle, .50 percussion, Trade accepted/Sold

[GANGGREEN]

Rifle is in excellent condition. There are some very minor handling marks on the barrel (basically just browning slightly rubbed in a couple of tiny spots) and some slight discoloration of the browning toward the muzzle on the left side and on the underrib where the thimbles were soldered on, but otherwise it looks practically new. Bore is clear, sights have been untouched, etc.. Also, the ramrod falls loosely out of the stock. If I were to keep it, I'd either attach a small spring to the underrib to hold it in or I might do something as simple as taping the end of the ramrod where it enters the stock. Will sell for $700 plus $50 shipping in wooden crate within CONUS.

I also happen to enjoy horse trading, I'm not in a huge hurry and I don't need this rifle. I'd consider the following in trade.....Hatfield squirrel rifle (preferably flintlock), certain split bamboo fly rods, original frontier or wildlife paintings and certain unmentionables (contact me). I'm willing to consider other interesting offers, but as I said, I'm not desperate or in a hurry, so try to be fair and offer something of comparable value.

These are very nice rifles with a single set trigger and slow twist rifling. I have one in .45 and it's accurate! This is a good buy.

I don't have a lot of experience with them, but the single set trigger is VERY nice.

I have interest from 3 different posters and I'll consider the offers that they make, but as of this time, I still haven't accepted an offer and I'll listen if anyone wants to make an offer. I'm pretty open-minded about trades, but obviously want it to be something of equal quality/value (or better is always fine too).

Great rifles! My dad has one and it’s always been a good shooter.

Someone buy this. I have one in .50 and do not need another Dale

Just inked a trade offer/deal Dale, so you're safe. This item is sold.

That was a good price for a very nice rifle. Congratulations to all who were concerned in the transaction!

Thanks Notchy Bob. I think so too. I've always tried to be fair with my initial pricing on items that I've sold because I don't want to be embarrassed, nor do I want to force potential buyers to make lots of lowball offers. I've seen what they've been bringing, I know what condition this one is in and I think the deal we cut (a trade) will end up being great for both of us.

Thank you Ganggreen. BTW I have your Hawken build prominently displayed over my fireplace [not in use.]

I'm glad to hear that Dale. I hope you also find time to shoot it some, but it's nice that you enjoy it daily.
