Gun was probably only test fired. Bore is pristine. Gun has a few handling marks. Scratch on barrel near touch hole caused by oversized musket flint???
Barrel is .81" LOP is 13 3/8". Drop 4". Slight cast off to right side. Weighs about 9 lbs. Photos say more than I can. $1600 + Shipping.

Man that's a beautiful rifle. I'm gun poor and cash depleted or this would live at my house.

Howdy, BigSky,
That's a beautiful rifle!
What style of rifle do you think it might be?
I see the curved rear stock with an offcast, like the Northampton/Lehigh rifles, but the rear sight is taller than the N/L's. I'm not sure about the trigger guard. What do you think?
The barrel looks straight, or is it swamped?
Do I see a set trigger?
Thanks,
Brazos

Thanks. Wish I could build these. Like lots of contemporary rifles I suspect it mixes elements from different styles. The TG looks like my VA rifle. Sight probably just a builder preference. Barrel straight. Yes, double set triggers.

What kind of lock did Murray use?

That is a beautiful gun, the stock is to die for!

 

[olskool]

the butt stock looks really curved/cast off, why so much? i have never seen anything like that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

[BigSkyRambler]

It does have a cast off, but photo exaggerates it. I will try to get a photo with reference line. As you see cast is only about a halh inch at heel.

Photo above. Initial photo in listing was to show wood grain. Slightly tilted toward camera.

That looks to me that the maker followed the Reading School with maybe some Oerter influence on this beautiful rifle.
