To me, some guns just epitomize what gunmaking is (or was) all about.

This rifle is one of those, I think. Made in an era when craftsmanship was the norm instead of something you can only get now on special order guns.

Little details that were par for the course, like the checkering on the tip of the trigger of this rifle. When's the last time you saw that? And the fine knurling on the sight adjustment screws...who does that now. Bygone days.

What a fine addition to anyone's collection!
