Who makes a REPRODUCTION JOHN RIGBY .451 PERCUSSION MATCH RIFLE?

Were any of the originals marked "Rigby 451"? I dont recall seeing any originals marked this way.

Good luck with your rifle. I hope you get it up and running and perhaps shoot with you someday.

Currently only Pedersoli make anything like it.

I would say Pedersoli would be marked in the gun if it where indeed a pedersoli thanks

Yes, I wasn’t suggesting your rifle is a Pedersoli. @Marplot inquired about current manufacturers and my response was directed to him.

Have you considered the possibility that your rifle is a Ron Jigby?

You have a few months to get that rifle up and running before the Creedmoor 150 here in the States. Rick Weber is hosting the Creedmoor 150 to honor the 150-year anniversary of the famous matches held here in the USA.

Need help getting your rifle up and running, just holler. David and crew in the UK can be of great help as well.

God willing, I will be there shooting an original Rigby. Check out the Facebook page for more info.

Based on the info. I have on the Monk Rigby, it has a different shaped hammer, pins in the lock plate are in a different position, and the flash guard at the nipple is different. So, I don't think it is one of the Rigby's that David Monk was making in the mid-1980's.

Thanks David.

I appreciate your answer, Bad Karma. I might be interested in buying a replica. I was not at all knocking Paulmoto's rifle.

I wish we had original rifles available in this country, and I’m sure they exist for a price but meanwhile the Pedersoli is a viable alternative.
