Description:
Pictured is a Charlie Slotterbeck.40 caliber muzzle loading target rifle made in Lakeport, California about 1875. Slotterbeck made everything on his rifles himself including the lock, stock, barrel, and scope as is the case with this one. It shoots a .40 caliber picket bullet (so called because it's shaped very much like the top of a picket fence post), and was probably intended for 100 yard competition which was popular at the time. The octagonal barrel is 25 3/4 inches long, measures one inch across the flats and is stamped GAIN TWIST WART STEEL on the left and C SLOTTERBECK LAKEPORT CAL. on the right. There is no serial number. The overall weight is is 9 lbs. 1 oz. and it is quite muzzle heavy. It has double set triggers with a very light, crisp pull. Included are its leather bag, bullet mold, powder measure (made from an old Winchester 45/60 shell casing) and its bullet starter. Condition is excellent with an old refinish to the stock, and everything functions exactly as it should. If you would like to learn more about the Slotterbeck brothers (also known as Slotter) see "California Gunsmiths 1846-1900" by Lawrence P. Shelton, pages 220 to 238.
