SOLD Mortimer combo. Reduced on my last post.

[Huntinshep]

Just in time for upcoming hunting seasons. I purchased this gun in May of this year from another member. I did not shoot it. I am selling because I am going in a different direction with ML. The following is what the previous owner said in his post. "This is an interesting Pedersoli Mortimer shotgun/rifle combination. The late styled flintlock was modified and improved by Brad Emig of Cabin Creek and features a waterproof pan, external safety, and roller frizzen. The odd Italian screw slot vent was replaced with a Jim Chambers White Lightning flash hole liner. When loaded with 3F the shotgun/rifle offers instant ignition. The breech is properly bedded to allow accurate rifle shooting while still permitting barrel interchangeability. The exceptionally heavy rifled barrel features a two leaf rear sight. The lower leaf will cut the X out of the target at 50 yards and the raised leaf is set to ring steel gongs at 200 yards. The flimsy Italian ramrods have been replaced with threaded hickory rods. The shotgun barrel ramrod features a trumpet shaped head pinned to the tapered rod and threaded for accessories, and the rifle barrel ramrod is threaded with a brass tip. I have primarily used the gun to teach children to shoot flintlock. The external safety is a nice feature to engage when coaching a young shooter. The cylinder bored 13 gauge keyed barrel is chrome lined which makes disassembly and cleanup quick and easy". The pictures were also provided in his previous post but I do not know where that banner across picture #3 came from. Price is $2000 plus actual insured shipping. I will included 1000 OS cards, 1000 OP cards, and 500 fiber wads. Please PM me if interested or any questions.

what cal. is rifle barrel

 

[Huntinshep]

My mistake. Forgot to say .54 cal.

 

[Gtrubicon]

There’s a pattern here, my taste outpaces my budget, this is an awesome rifle. I’ve got to go warm some beans for dinner

 

[Huntinshep]

Had an offer but have not heard back on my reply. Reduced to $1900. PM me if interested. Thanks.

What direction are you going in with ML?

 

[Huntinshep]

Lancaster, Virginia, Colonial style, 18th century, prefer 54 cal.

Reverse the numbers and I have the perfect fit up for sale.

I know it is in the original post but want to emphasize that this lock, as shown in the pictures, has been improved by Brad Emig of Cabin Creek and the original flash hole has been replaced by a Jim Chambers White Lightning. This is a "2 gun offer" with the same very reliable ignition.

 

[Huntinshep]

Reduced to $1800 plus shipping and insurance. PM if interested.

How did this get overlooked? Dixie sells the same gun with only the rifled barrel for $1,800.00. Your package includes the shotgun barrel and the lock reworked by Brad Emig! This is a steal! The factory locks simply don't perform as well as a lock tuned by Brad Emig.

 

[Huntinshep]

Still at $1800 but now I will pay for shipping and insurance. PM if interested.

 

[Iron Jim Rackham]

Wow! Aren't there any pheasant hunters in the membership??? This gun is great for pheasants and other game birds.

Wish I had the funds at the moment. Someone needs to buy it. I'm starting to have dreams about which kidney I could sell.

 

[Africa58double]

I am interested- pm inbound

 

[Huntinshep]

Here are pictures of the Brad Emig improved lock in the 3 positions. A great lock.

 

[Huntinshep]

I have to revise the extras to 500 OS cards, 500 OP cards and approx. 250 fiber wads. Still at $1800 and I pay shipping and insurance.

 

[Iron Jim Rackham]

Well, if there aren't any bird hunters on the forum, there must be some big game hunters, and the .54 rifled barrel with leaf adjustable sights makes this a very formidable combination
