Folks I have this rifle for sale, or trade to a nice double barrel shotgun, 12G. This is a half stock, curly cherry, late 1970's by Pedersoli and is stamped Plainsman on the barrel with a border around it. This gun has never been fired, the blue, all metal, and bore is in mint condition. The stock has a few dings from being in a large gun safe for the better part of 40 years. It has a brass trigger guard, nose cap, dove patchbox, and star on the cheekpiece. It has a single set trigger, that has to be set before cocking the hammer. The gun is light, #6 or so and balances very nicely. Every screw is blued, with file work on them. It has a Tenn style long tang with 3 screws, with some tasteful engraving on the barrel, and tang, along with the rear sight. The lock is either in the white or nickel plated, with extensive engraving on it. The under rib and ramrod ferrules is made out of brass as was common on these older rifles. The wedge pin has file work on the big and little end. The sights are a blade blue steel front, and a long target style rear, that is held on by screws, and it is screw adjustable left/right, up and down. It is blue and engraved like the barrel tang, all the bluing on the gun is high polished. It has a flash cup under the nipple. The brass has a nice patina on nearly all of it. I bought this rifle off of a friends widow, this gun was not fired, due to being a duplicate. He had several rifles that he had duplicates of, that he shot. His son kept the ones he shot, and i was able to buy 3 of the ML's. I had to buy 3 or nothing, so i did. The other two I am keeping, both Dixie Tn Mtn rifles, in .32 and .50 neither one had been fired. I am asking $650 tyd to recoup my money, or trade to a nice double barrel, like a Dixie, or Pedersoli. I have $600 invested in it and the $50 is for shipping an insurance. I can send pics/video to a email or ph#.
