Chambers - Edward Marshall rifle

[Bushfire]

Hi,

I would really like to see some photos of completed Edward Marshall rifles by Chambers.

I’m interested in getting one in .58 for red and sambar deer hunting  and would like to see some finished guns.

Likely order one in the white, I don’t have the skills but mostly the time to do one from scratch myself.

Bushfire, I don't know why some of the pics are coming out so small. I deleted them, If you PM me your e-mail address I can send you a bunch more....Ed

Hi,
Here is a link to Jud Brennan's site showing wonderfully detailed photos of the originals rifle.

I built a fairly close copy of the original using almost all Chambers parts except the lock.  None of the locks used on commercial kits of the rifle are shaped right and they change the architecture of the gun.  Here are a few photos of my copy.





















I think many folks think the rifle is big and heavy.  It is not!  Forward of the lock it is as slim and sleek as any Golden Age long rifle but has a big robust wrist and butt stock. It balances extremely well, much like a fine English rifle from the 19th century.  The original stock does not have a lot of drop at the heel but I think Chambers version has more.  It is a very fine handling and shooting gun.  One of my all time favorites.

Beautiful guns,

How is the feel of them? Do they come up to the shoulder and balance well?

I’ve heard they don’t have a thread in the ramrod, how does one clean in the field? By the field I mean out in the remote bush while hunting on multi day trips.

Adding a threaded tip to a rod is part of the building experience. If you want one, it's not a big deal to do it.  I make my own , but you can purchase them from a number of sources
