Reduced . Here is an oldie from the earliest days of modern muzzleloaders. It is a Belgian made .45 halfstock rifle stamped KIRKLAND GUNS, making it a Pre-Dixie Gun Works offering from Turner Kirkland. This is when Kirkland sold guns out of his garage and the trunk of his car. For its age, it is in very good condition, with some stock issues. The round 31.5" barrel retains most of its original bluing. Twist is 1:48ish. Bore is very good. Simple sights and single trigger. The stock is held in place with a single wedge and is the reason for stock issue. Seems a previous owner got in a hurry putting wedge in and maybe hit it with a mallet, causing a split. This is an easy fix, but I have other more pressing projects. LOP is 14 1/8". Weighs about 7.4 lbs. An inexpensive shooter or great addition to any collection of modern muzzleloaders. $225 + Shipping.
