Title: MOLL rifle for sale on Gunbroker
Post by: Bombman 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.

Thanks for posting it Bombman.

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.

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