Selling to fund another purchase. This is a nice custom flint built with a very very accurate bill large barrel! The barrel is a slow twist I believe 1-66 or there about. The muzzle is also slightly choked at the muzzle. It shoots anything from 25-60 grains of powder extremely well and likes .395 RB. I have it zeroed at 35 yards. Stock is a very nice and very curly piece of maple. LOP is right at 14” from front trigger to center of butt plate. The stock has some cast off for right handed shooter. Barrel is just shot of 38” it is a straight profile. Stock jade a poured pewter nose cap. Bore is excellent bright and shiny. The lock is a siler style and is of good quality not sure who made it but it is a very good sparkler. Vent hole liner is free of obstruction and is easily removable ie not seized. Set triggers are very fine. Has a nice sliding patch box. The flint I used to take the photos is not very sharp by any means and the room is not dark but as you can tell it floods the pan with good sparks! It is not the lightest rifle in the world at 8lbs 13oz on my scale. It balances perfectly at the rear entry thimble! I’ve done my best to put all the info that people normally ask about in the ad. If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Also there is no signature on the rifle anywhere that I can see so I do not know who built it or win but my guess is somewhere in the 60s or 70s.Thanks for looking and have a good day. I’m asking 1300 obo shipped. PP F&F is preferred payment.

Mike

As someone suggested width across the flats is good info! So here are some pics with a mic on the muzzle end and the breach end! As well as me demonstrating the balance point at the rear thimble holding the rifle on 2 fingers.
