Title: Peter Berry
Post by: gunhunter700 on February 20, 2012, 03:16:53 AM

I am posting studies of my Peter Berry Rifle.  I have owned it for over 30 years.

Please take a look at the pics below.

Thank you for showing us your very fine rifle! Welcome to the American Longrifles Forum GGrantham. You have a great 18th century work of art in the form of my favorite shape!

I found these full length photos of my dad's rifle above.  They were taken at a weird angle (and with not so good lighting) but hopefully they can give you all some sense of scale and proportion.
