JONATHAN BROWNING MOUNTAIN RIFLE, TRADITIONAL 45 Cal. PERCUSSION RIFLE

Description:
45 Caliber Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle, Traditional Percussion Muzzle Loader. I remember when these first came out in about 1970. Browning made them for about 10 years. It was a copy of the rifle that Jonathan Browning was famous for in the middle 1800s. He made them individually in his gunshop. He was the father of John Moses Browning and the grandfather of John M. Browning, the great firearms genius inventor. I believe that they were produced entirely in Utah, in a factory in Salt Lake City, I think. I purchased a 50 caliber in 1973 and shot my first Muzzle Loading Mule Deer Buck. It was a great rifle. 
I got this one from a friend who used it a couple of times, then he had his gunsmith put a hand rubbed oil finish on the stock, and ny friend hung this one on the wall of his den. The stock is amazing, and the metal is in good shape but has somewhat of a mottled finish. It could easily be re-browned. The bore is in excellent condition with deep, sharp riflings. The 45 caliber ones had deeper riflings for some reason. I think that it was because they were designed to shoot only patched round balls. The 45 cal is very pleasant to shoot and easy to hit things with. The sights are great and accurate. This is a good one at a great price.
