MOLL rifle for sale on Gunbroker
« on: July 22, 2014, 11:04:01 PM »
Saw this today while looking through Gunbroker. I don't know much about it, or if it is just the lock which is marked "MOLL". Worth checking out. Here is the link- http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=430301746

I think the seller has actually described the gun pretty accurately!

Thanks for posting it Bombman.

 I highly doubt this is an original Moll. It is very amateurishly stocked, and carved. I think this is a reproduction, that was made about forty, or fifty, years ago. The lock looks like a reworked Dixie Gun Work lock, that has had Moll stamped on it, with regular industrial letter stamps.

John,
I agree, summed it up pretty good. Certainly a lot more honest than some we know!

This rifle has been on Gunbroker for a long time, it hasn't sold because it's a pile of parts, and not much else.
