It was an accidental find at a bargain price. It ha Siler lock probably Douglas barrel. The rifle is skillfully made. It is heavy would work for a large shooter. It has a straight barrel of .45 cal. Because if LOP is long I have to use a bench rest. The name on the barrel is RD Woodall.

Congrats! Nice find. Lots of carving on that gun. I still think the early Virginia rifles are one of the most attractive. :thumbsup: Rick.
Most guns of this quality cost a few thousand dollars. ( my opinion) it is worth $700 as that would be the cost of the parts. The value really cannot be measured in dollars. I could never imagined owning such a rifle. Most people who look at one of these contemporary long rifles don't really "get it". They may see a beautiful object but the soul is in the history, heritage, craftsmanship, artistic balance and authenticity . To hold it give you the feeling of having the "real thing". The wow feeling.
