New-to-me squirrel rifle

[mazo kid]

I bought this 32 cal. rifle used from a buddy a month or so ago. Haven't done anything with it except give it a gentle cleaning and paste wax on the stock. I made the cleaning jag and will be making/acquiring some more "goodies" for it. Still have to fire it as other chores seem to keep popping up this time of the year.

Too much of that metal junk on it, but I'm now in the scrap metal business as of today, and I would take it off your hands :rotf:

NICE AND DOUBLE NICE. :thumbsup:

Mike, I have 2 stories....the guy who built it said it was from a blank, he is not a noted builder. My other friend (who BTW is gonna build my Beck rifle) that did the carving, engraving and silver work said he thought it was a pre-carve. He didn't want to sign it as it wasn't up to his "standards". I think he did a GREAT job in "rescuing" the rifle and I'm really pleased with it.
tg, the barrel is a 42" straight octagon Colerain, lock is Davis. I almost forgot, I did lighten up the frizzen spring and also the sear spring and now the trigger pull is much lighter, and the lock is noticeably quicker.

That thar gun is way too shiny for squirrels....
you will just dazzle them, then tap them on the head.
Cheap on powder!
Nice Gun!!!

Sweeet! Looks like a bucks co., verner style?

That sure is a beauty, but the lock is on the wrong side. :wink: I'm sure you will enjoy it. Basset

"He didn't want to sign it as it wasn't up to his "standards".

Understandable, seein as how the lock is on the wrong side of the stock! :rotf:

Just kidding, it's a fine lookin' rifle! :hatsoff:

 

[mazo kid]

Well, thanks guys for the fine words. Even though I didn't build the rifle, I am proud to own it. Also, knowing that two friends collaborated on the building makes it kinda special.

 

[MSW]

since the lock is on the left side, does that mean you're only allowed to shoot right- handed squirrels?

seriously- great looking rifle
