They both are awesome. Ezfeed, you sure do have quite a collection. No dogs in the pack....

To me McHugh catches it perfectly. Extra swamped barrels to where the muzzle flare is still super thin. The wood follows suit and gets thinner and finer toward the front. Almost feels too delicate but it's not. I want to say most of his pieces are in the 6-7lb weight.

That second rifle is very nice and there is a lot I like about it, but there are quite a few things I don't. Personal preference stuff, not construction or style issues. Of course, not owning, or even getting to handle anything like either of them, I'm sure I'd be quite happy with one or the other.

both rifles are fantastic ! So whats the history ? where did you find them ? who ever you acquired them from , did they have any idea of history ?

That's not Kilroy that's Chad from WW2 or before .Kilroy was the marker of West Australian water pipes .

Or "Damn Coolgardie, Damn the track. Damn the Road both there & back !, Damn the water ,Damn the weather. Damn Coolgardie ALL together !."

Not sure if its Kilroys verse but same water pipe.' Heelerau' will know

Sure would look good in my Rifle safe and on my club's firing line as well.

I'd almost, no, I would walk barefoot over broken glass for either one of those beauties. Actually I did do that a number of times as a younger adult and never got a cut. If I tried that now I'd end up with bacon for toes.
