Lil Brass Frame Bench Rifle

[52Bore]

No name, 36cal (1:48 twist),
Seems to be about 3/4 scale
1” Octagon barrel, 27” long, false muzzle, bullet starter.
Rifles weighs 7#
Possibly someone has seen one similar as it is cast brass (looking inside after removal of left plate). ?
I’m guessing made in the North East in the Stares.

Nice picket rifle!

Not identical, but a somewhat similar rifle with bullet starter is in the 3 November Poulin Auction (Lot # 4420). Unfortunately it likewise has no makers markings

The rifle among this rifle to give a proportional view is a Rigby Match rifle.
I shot with 2 - NZ shooters 2 weeks ago at the Creedmoor 150. John S. & Laurie K. They shot well and everyone had a fantastic week.

That looks like a very good candidate for a re-bore. It looks like a fairly fast twist and was likely made to shoot a paper patched bullet of some sort.
