Good Bores. Right bore is a bit more frosty than the left as expected with these rifles with overall decent bores and sharp rifling.
Note: I purchased this rifle last year thinking it was a bit older than 1895. I am looking for an 8-Bore made during the early to mid 1880’s for a project I am working on. This one was made after the date I was looking for and did not know it until I got a copy of the original ledger book. (Photo included). I have not shot the gun but am told by the previous seller it was a “good shooter”. I had Gordy & Sons (Houston, TX) do a full inspection and chamber casting on the rifle and all checked out great in December of 2022.
I am selling for $25,000 or a trade (Likely partial) on the following …
(1) 8-Bore Double Rifle made about 1880
(2) 500 Black Powder Express made about 1880 or before
(3) Winchester 1876 in 50-95 Express
(4) Early Colt SAA in .45 Colt made before 1880
