Have any of you guys ever seen or heard about this. This is from "Gunny" R Lee Ermeys personal collection. The description of events when the rifle was fired is disturbing..... https://www.gunbroker.com/item/912282832 The rest of the collection.... https://www.ebrwebstore.com/r-lee-ermey-auctions-2/ "The difference between adventure and disaster is preparation."

Looks like it was a nice rifle back in the day, not a "Counterfeit" as such, was proper Double rifle with Chopper Lump barrels, now with very worn bores, looks like a restock in India & something bad happened to the hook & then it was deactivated by the looks ? Thanks for posting as very interesting to see it ! | |||

The rest of the collection was not too impressive. Nice Winchesters but drileld for scope mounts. Really not much to look at. _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | |||

I'd buy it for a couple of bucks plus shipping. Would make a an interesting wall wall hanger. "Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force." --Thomas Jefferson | |||

So are you guys saying this is a real Jeffrey, NOT a counterfeit? I am not an expert but the metal fit looks pretty bad to me. Of course what do I know, I hunt with Rugers!

That looks to me like a fake hand made in India. In other words, a bespoke hunk of junk.  Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Well, considering that Jeffery never made any of their own guns, what is a counterfeit Jeffery really? Maybe this just came out of the shops of one of their lesser known subcontractors on the subcontinent?  In all seriousness, I wouldn't pay $50 as a cabin wall hanger, even given the ownership history that they are really trying to sell. I've got my grandfather's 120 year old 22 that had the stock burned off in a house fire, has a furniture from an uncle who was a teenager at the time, and was used hard by generations of kids for a century, and still has vastly better fit and finish. I would love to know the story, however! Bob DRSS "If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?" | |||

AS far as we know, the Jeffrey doubles were made by Leonard and have a characteristic 4 digit number on barrel under forend. Nothing in this rifle. The proof marks look very poorly done in comparison to my A Hollis 450-400 made by Leonard. Bob | |||

Mr. Ermy should have talked to somebody, because he got had. At least he was not selling fake concert tickets for $100. I’ve seen people get beat up for that. | |||
