That is indeed a beauty.
Gorgeous rifle
That's pretty!
Thank you!
Very nice, wish it was .58!
Build a wooden box to ship it in. You can use 1x4 and 1x6 lumber, cedar will save on weight. Not hard to do, but it’s the only way to prevent damage.

Wood is crazy expensive. Was thinking of just buying a mid priced Rifle padded Hard case. Have to see who makes one long enough. Realize I want to be discrete, but figure I could wrap it in brown paper wrap after that with back up labels under the paper wrap just in case. It would be worth the investment without the extra weight. Maybe an extra $100 for the case.
That’s a good idea also. My box is 2x4 frame with 1/4” plywood top and bottom. Rifle wrapped in bubble and news paper inside. Last time I shipped it empty it was $36.
Cheap compared to a broken rifle (which I got in the mail yesterday.)
Great looking gun and well priced!

I know exactly what gun that was. I got a bad feeling off of that guy. He has a few others for sale. Have gotten a few broken guns from here, including the last one I got.
Don't know. Are you interested or just curious? I would have to find someone with a scale to weigh it.

I also have known the maker for years, have commissioned several belt knives from him beginning in the 90's. I've always wanted a rifle by Rich, if I were able I'd buy it this very moment. Good luck with your listing!
PS- Jeanne's leather work is nothing short of museum quality.

Taking this down next week as I will be going in for some knee surgery and will not be able to respond.
Gorgeous rifle!
I replied a couple times. Waiting to hear back from you. Sent you my e-mail address.
