Wow! What a great rifle to trade into. Very nice wood and inletting!

I would say you got the best end of your deal.

I put 5 rounds through her. Took 3 to get the elevation dialed in. Here are the last two at 50 yards.

I met a gentleman at the local gunshow looking to trade a new Vincent style rifle. He was an elderly fella and said he’d never fired the rifle. Said it was too heavy. It’s a 45 roundball gun. Should be fun.

good group

This is a nice Vincent. I had one made in .40 years ago. I has been a good performer.

I thought my Cougar had a nice piece of lumber before I picked up this Vincent. The builder is a gentleman named Fullerton. I believe he’s a local Michigan man. I need to connect with him and see if he has any other nice rifles to sell.

Let's tally this up: You traded a $500 pistol for a custom elegant professionally finished Vincent, with gorgeous figured wood, valued at $3000+ around here, that shoots patched balls moa!

Dude, I nominate this the mlf the deal of the year. I'm very jealous. Congratulations and enjoy.

Great Flask, too!

You can get a Single Six anywhere; the trade was fair, you even got a bit more "value" there!

You did indeed get an exceptionally fine rifle, and it obviously enjoys driving tacks. Some guys have all the luck.

It is a Vincent rifle kit. Ohio rifle. Likely from Golden Age Arms in Delaware, OH. I have one in .40cal.. I don't think Golden Age is still in business. The Vincent family built rifles around Marietta, OH.
