Title: Not a longrifle but it is neat IMHO
Post by: eddillon on September 02, 2015, 02:02:57 AM

This is a jewel I picked up at a local gunshow this past weekend.  Just had to share.  English 20 bore with 32" Damascus Octagon to round barrel.  Photos do not show the 98% original finish on the barrel.  Nice contrasty Damascus pattern.  No maker's name.

That is a nice looking rifle. What is the length of pull on it, looks really long but it could be just the photo.

The whole gun is as close to pristine as you can expect, considering the age.  LOP  13 5/8".  Drop at comb 1 1/8".  At heel 1 7/8"
