Can't afford it but, you sure got enough bore pix to keep the hall monitors happy.

WOW! The censorship is strong today. That is NOT what I wrote. Guess we'll soon all be forced to vote democrat to stay on the site.

The crown on the barrel looks segmented, has that barrel been lined?

Not to my knowledge. Perhaps a trick of the camera/light.

32" barrel? Like all other Lyman GP?

 

[Montanarae]

I love the antique look around the rear sight and breach area.

Sorry for my confusion! What does it mean " Fishbelly shaping " taken in?

 

[Kansas Jake]

Some reproductions have slightly rounded bottom to the butt stock when viewed from the side. It is often referred to as “fish belly.” I, like the previous owner of this rifle don’t really care for the look and he removed it and straightened the bottom line.

Correct. 32" bbl 1:48" twist
