I met a gentleman at the local gunshow looking to trade a new Vincent style rifle. He was an elderly fella and said he’d never fired the rifle. Said it was too heavy. It’s a 45 roundball gun. Should be fun.

Traded into a nice rifle

That looks like a very nice rifle, beautifully put together. From the one photo, it appears to have T/C-type sights. Not traditional, but in my opinion these can provide a very good sight picture. Your rifle should be a real shooter!
Thanks for showing it!

Yep, Bo Mar sight.
Congrats that sure is a real beauty! I'd like to trade into something like that at our local GS.
That stock wood is beautiful!
Congratulations that is a very nice looking rifle.

I knew that was a BoMar. Have one on an unmentionable. Great sight. Great rifle!
It cost me a nice Single 6. The Ruger may have been worth more but I like the rifle and flask.

I would have traded too. I’d rather have the rifle.
I would rather have the rifle and flask, too. I don’t know what a Single Six is worth these days, and prices for used muzzleloaders are all over the place, but I believe a new custom built rifle of that quality from a reputable builder would cost you a bit north of $2K. I think you did well.
a BoMar sight, too! I’m sorry I didn’t recognize it as such. An expert target shooter of my acquaintance prefers those.
Your rifle is a beauty, but it looks like it was built to be shot. Enjoy it!

Beautiful gun, congrats!
Here’s the purty side.
I’d say you came out on top on this deal!
Beautiful furniture and looks well built.

Sweet looking.
I think you did good..! As long as both parties are happy it's a good trade...and in this case you did very well...
She’s gorgeous!! You should throw some old style sights on it!!
Great looking rifle! Single 6s are nice so the other fella got something he can shoot and you got heck uva ML.
I've always contended that everyone has THEIR day at a gun show, its just a matter of making sure your there when it happens!

The Single 6 I traded was a nice stainless new model (worth $450). I still have my trusty old 3 screw conv, a Single 6 in 32, and a Bearcat.
I’m hoping to have time this afternoon to take the new rifle out back for a few shots. Hard to pick up a new gun and not shoot it right away.
