I'm curious what you think about the picture of the muzzles? https://jamesdjulia.com/item/52239-1-397/ | ||

I would think it has been re-regulated and someone did a pisspoor job cleaning up the left over solder? Hard to see for sure as I am looking at the pics on my phone. Don't think I would be to worried about it. Would probably shoot it to make sure it is regulated well than have a good smith clean it up and possibly file the wedge flush. Mac | |||

I think it's been rebored to a 470. Serial # puts it in the 450 3 1/4 date range. Also note the importer. Westley Richards Springfield, MO. Lot's of fishy things went on at MO gun shops specializing in vintage firearms then. I'm curious to read Julia's description when it comes out. | |||

Pretty sure that one has been re-bored and that would be a huge concern depending upon price point. It lacks period correct proof marks and most Rigby Rising bites I have seen were in .450 3&1/4", not .470NE. Front sight is mucked up as well, possibly cut. I see no ramp in the picture. I would want to look that one over REALLY close before bidding. Looks like 470 Evans and I were typing at the same time and see the same thing. | |||

Lots of questions on this one. The muzzle looks rat-assed. It's a shooter.

The angle of the pistol grip looks odd to me...almost germanic..? | |||

I'm no smith, nor can I even begin to be able to afford a double. That said, I did a far better job on my grandfather's Stevens 325 when I was 14 years old. Doug Wilhelmi NRA Life Member | |||
