WITHDRAWN Original Pennsylvania Half Stock Rifle

[1sogdusm]

This rifle is original and was produced by James Bown/ Enterprise Gun Works in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The rifle is a common pattern produced by Bown, 32.5 barrel .32-34 caliber with set trigger, and patchbox. Overall the rifle is in good condition and the triggers work as designed but I would not attempt to fire the rifle before having it inspected by a competent gunsmith. I have attached a short history of the company in the photos. Please pm with additional questions or for more photos. $750 shipped, just a great piece of Pennsylvania history. Trades considered.

I failed to mention that the bore looks good with strong rifling. Not sure I could capture this with a photo due to small bore size.

Cut off a piece of small aluminum rod, drop it down the bore and take a photo. Read the classified guidelines, you need a piece of paper with name and date on it in one of the photos.

Reflects light to see the bore. I use AA+ AAA batteries in larger calibers.

That's what I thought. I was wondering why you would use aluminum vs something like polished steel (like the end of a battery). I'm surprised more people don't simply use borescopes. They are so cheap now a days.
