A beautiful gun - I'd have liked to have seen the Scottish-made one for comparison.

Slightly OT, but as you mention Scotland - I have a unique BSA Model 1 take-down .22 target rifle, made in 1909 for a boy who was to die on the Somme in 1917. That was converted by Alexander Martin of Glasgow.

Chasseur, that's a lovely gun. Mind if I ask where you got it?

 

[chasseur]

It was offered for sale on the ALR forum.

Thanks Bud. Whoever built that did a fine job. Wouldn't mind running into one just like it some day. Sure would be fine if such a thing was built in commercial numbers and readily available.

 

[hellothere]

do you know which company builds these replicas?

 

[Steppenwolf]

The Gunworks in Oregon and Jedediah Starr.

do you know which company builds these replicas?

The Gunworks doesn t make them per say but has the availability of custom smiths that build them for them.They actually have one for sale now an 8 bore, I thought about buying it but for the money 4700 I figured that with the cost of powder and lead , not to mention the recoil I probably wouldn t shoot it much.

Great thing to trot out and show your buddies though
