When you consider the rifle was made in 1985 it is a really nice rifle in great condition. Dennis Mulford is an early builder with a heap of talent. Now all it needs is to go hog hunting and get some mud and DEET on it. When we going Brice. Tim Cosby

I have not seen anything by Dennis Mulford in a long time. Is he still building?

That really is  a blast from the past! And, easily compares to the stuff that's being built today. Best yet, this is an Iowa made gun. ;D

could this possibly be the Dennis Mulford that lived in Utah back in the 1970's? he was making some great rifles back then wish I could have gotten one of them . It would be great to find out where he ended up. truly a blast from the past

Actually got to hold the rifle and go over it in detail this morning. Looks much better than the pics if that is possible. It is a nice rifle that Mr. Mulford built. Couldn't talk Brice into taking it hog hunting. 😊

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

71 years old would be correct does anyone know how to contact him? if this is indeed the Dennis I knew we had some good times at Rendezvous back in the day.

The CLA Artisans list also shows Dennis Mulford as living in Anamosa Iowa but does not give a contact number or email address.  Tim

Agree with others comments.  On the surface I would say great rifle.  If you told me 1985, then I would say exceptional rifle!  He was one of those doing work several years ahead of the curve at the time.
