SOLD Vintage custom .40 halfstock target percussion

[dogfood]

Hi all,
I wanted to like this gun and I do, but it's just a bit too nice for me to feel good about taking into the bush, and the stock drop is just a hair to low for my liking for target work. There's nothing wrong with the gun, it's just that it's not quite right for me. Changes in circumstance have made it so I'm putting it up so someone can get some good use out of it.
(Lock at least) made by Ray Morgan maybe in the 1970s
CR Douglas barrel
Shallow semi-buckhorn (quarter-buckhorn?) sight; looks like a whale's tail
7/8" dia, 34" bbl and 50" OAL
Weighs 8lbs according to bathroom scale, and very nicely balanced
Double set, single throw trigger configuration, with adjustable trigger.
Strong rifling

$600+ shipping
USPS of Venmo preferred
FTF within 30mins of Xenia OH

Feel free to message me with any questions.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers,
dgfd
