Asher was an artisan working for Green River Forge in Springfield, Oregon. He went to build his own guns under the name Lincoln County Gun Works in Newport, Oregon.

I read in an older thread on another forum that he used Bob Roller Locks. I’m not sure who made this one or the triggers. I’ve never seen any configured this way. Maybe one of you can enlighten me.

I’ll post more photos of the complete rifle later.

Thanks for looking!

Walt

The browned barrel is 33" x 7/8". Overall length is 48 3/8". Lop is 14". It weighs 8 pounds. The stock appears to be Walnut. The furniture is iron. There is no nose cap. The front sight is a blade. The notch rear sight is adjustable for windage only. I have no idea when this was made. It only has the maker's Hallmark with no serial number.
