Description:
Here is a very shootable, graceful yet robust pre-1887 Rigby single barrel upland gun.  The ribless Damascus barrel is 30 1/8" with a 2 3/4" chamber and a recent (2015) nitro proof.  It has an excellent bore and is choked .011 (about IC).  The gun locks up as tight as new with a Jones rotary underlever.  (Undelever screw is a replacement.)  Percussion fences, and unusual faceted breech.  Non-rebounding back-action lock.  The barrel is engraved JOHN RIGBY & CO. DUBLIN & LONDON, and the lock plate is engraved JOHN RIGBY & CO.  Action is border and partial scroll engraved.  Lightly figured stock has a horn forend tip, and a sliver (about 1 1/2") missing from the right side, where wood meets steel.  Butt stock has various hunting dings, scratches and indentations, but is quite solid.  Stock measures 1 1/2" x 2 3/8" x 14 3/8" over a smooth steel butt plate.  Weight is 6 lbs 14 oz.  I've always enjoyed hunting with singles, and this one is a dandy.
