John Cook Smooth Rifle

[Pmringer]

I had a chance to handle a like new Cook smooth rifle. I fell in love with it and will be making the purchase tomorrow. It is a 20 bore with a Colerain barrel, Davis lock, and single trigger (very crisp and light). There is not a check rest which is fine with me as the piece fits me very well.

I was curious if anyone else has or has had a Cook flinter? Any feedback before I purchase this? I fell in love with the "rifle" the second I picked it up and it is nice and simple like I prefer.

Thanks

Its great that the smooth rifle fits you. How does the lock spark?

Sounds as if the parts are of good pedigree and the gun should also be good.

Pictures please.

It sparks great. Butter smooth with a crisp and light release. I'll post picturesqueness I pick it up tomorrow.
