Army and Navy .577-450 BPE. The free info from the U of Glasgow states it was sold in the 1880’s, I can’t remember the exact year.
Paper patched cast bullets. Engraving worn, traces of case colors, and as tight as my 45 year old miroku shotgun. My intro to double rifles.
The owner of this rifle is an incredible gentleman, and graciously allowed my 15 year old son to shoot 10+ rounds.
An awful Lott like the best parts of this place.9
Thank you Saeed for this fo
Your guys are grumpy, but you mean well. There is an incredible amount of knowledge here, and I hate that in this day and age it is overlooked and may well be forgotten all to soon.
Cheers!
