Very nice, you have a nice trophy there and all in good order, when is the inaugural range test?

Forgot to say there is something strangely satisfying about gazing down the business end of a double, if only these old rifles could speak of their exploits of yesteryear, I wonder what animals may have seen those holes as their last vision on earth

Hi JT, as soon as ammo is loaded. Smiler So true what you say.
Based on the caliber, this one was likely a TIGER KILLER!!! shocker

Jack, Very Nice! I'm sure the wait was worth it. I can't wait to hear if it shoots as well as it looks.

Congrats!

Beautiful!!! I bet you did the same dance as the Bananna at the top of your post, when you got this back from JJ. He does nice work doesn't he? I am fortunate to live just 75 miles from Chanplin Arms.
Love the "See my Muzzle" picture!!! It does make the hair stand up on your neck...

Thanks Bob,
When it first got to me last fall, I had
it at the range with retreever [Mike]. It
shot nice tight groups. I expect that to
be unchanged. We shall see, I am confident.

The case coloring is brand new, part of the
work JJ did over at www.champlinarms.com -
The rifle is pre WW II, and perhaps pre WWI

Jack: Congratulations and good hunting with your double. It seems your patience in finding the right one paid off. It is a beauty. When I hold a gun like that I wish it could tell me what it has seen and what it has faced. A beautiful piece of history! thumb

LJS, Tim and BD700,

I appreciate your collective enthusiasm for my rifle! Big Grin

I doubt that I'd have such a thing without AR's guys and

their continuous good will.

Jack, curious where you bought it. I might have owned this rifle at one time. George Caswell sold it for us. I might have serial number somewhere. Coloring was nice when i had it but not new so yours might be a different rifle.

PM me if you wish

Jim,

Thanks for the compliment! I've been too busy to shoot since it's back with me, but it shot

straight last Sept, Oct, {that's '07}. That range report is in this link below:

Jens,

Thanks for being a fellow D/R enthusiast! I am curious, why drop the pics down?

THANKS Mike!!! To the crowd, Mike is the man who first gave me a chance to shoot a double rifle! He and I

then have had D/R gatherings to shoot with others nearby (sort of) too. Doc 52 was one of those guys. I look

forward to sharing shooting fun with MY rifle.
