FOR SALE once again

[copehill hermit]

PRICE DROP: My .45 caliber rifle is up for sale. Built by CLA member Rick Baker, the gun is a light, balanced and very handy deer rifle. I used the gun two seasons, but at my age, I don't hunt much any more. When he sold the gun, he cautioned that the stock had cracked and he repaired it with a commercial bond, clamped and tested rigorously. I recently had it checked out of concern before I marketed it, and it is as shipped to me. LOP is 13 1/2 inches, barrel is 32 inches, weight @ 7 1/2 pounds. It has steel guard and brass toe piece, and bone back strap. A handsome but utilitarian gun, in my opinion. Reduced to $750, I will build a nice shipping box, send it insured to anywhere in the CONUS.

honestly don't know. Rick Baker, a CLA member built the gun and has built many pieces. It is in nearly new condition as is the barrel. He built it to sell and has not been fired more than 25-30 times since I've owned it.

I think it is a Siler lock

The lock is the L&R “Classic” Lock. (Notice also that boss in the underside of the frizzen pan cover: an L&R thing.)
