About Us: Hallowell & Co. incorporated as a full-time, federally-licensed firearms business in Greenwich, Connecticut in 1983. In 1999, we sold our Greenwich building to Griffin & Howe and moved to Livingston, Montana. Our primary interests lie in high quality, artisanal sporting guns in fine original condition---single shot rifles, custom rifles, double shotguns and double rifles by the best makers, from the beginning of the cartridge era to the present. We look forward to being of service.

Cast-off: 1/2". Weight: 8lbs, 11oz. Blued barrel, casehardened lock, breechblock and patchbox, and with registered and fire-blued screws. Completed in 1987; the prototype for Steven Hughes' series of nine California rifles. Very little used---although two blacktail deer were taken with the rifle by the maker.
