FOR SALE WTS: Customer .45 percussion rifle - Douglas barrel, Russ Hamm lock

[bones92]

Having to thin out my muzzleloaders... this is a custom built (probably in the 70s) rifle with a Douglas barrel and Russ Hamm lock. Very nice bore. Straight barrel, 13/16" across the flats, 41" long. Weighs 7 lbs 6 oz. The stock finish has a greenish tint which is from the type of finish used. It's somewhat different but I like it.

I have fired this rifle a few times, and it is very accurate. The front sight blade is shaped to have a fine point when sighting down the rifle, and I find it to be very good for putting the front sight PRECISELY on the target where I'm aiming. I believe a fine sharp front sight blade view allows for better consistency in aligning sights in a precise manner shot after shot.

$650 plus shipping. If you're in the eastern time zone I will ship for a flat $25 via US Priority with insurance.

It is a fine rifle. Well balanced and I like the drop of the butt. I sometimes have a hard time sighting down some rifles because of the shape of the butt (I’m 6’ 1”) but this one is very comfortable.

if this was a flint I would have grabbed it. I have enough cap locks. Good Luck with your sale.
