That voice in my head spoke to me

The barrel is Getz 48" swamped marked #900 .54 1/56

The bore is perfect, and rifle has been shot very little.

I am wondering if this rifle is in this book

I’m looking at my book. Looks like a match to me. That’s a hard gun to duplicate especially in the contemporary world.

That is good to hear, can you snap me a pic of it in the book

Thanks Wayne

I wonder how many hours he had into making it, gotta be a ton. Everything is top notch, really paid attention to detail

Nifty

From what I can see it’s right up there with Taylor’s build of that gun, which is saying something indeed.

Thanks for that great compliment Rich...any time my name is mentioned in the same sentence as one of these great respected old makers, is a huge thing to me. Jerry's rifle looks really nice - this original rifle is certainly worthy of careful study and copying.

This rifle is not the one in the book

Not sure how many of these he made, but at least two

taterbug · « **Reply #13 on:** August 19, 2023, 12:12:28 AM »

ok then. Now I'm (at least) doubly impressed

Whether in a book or not, that rifle is outstanding.

Beautiful. I used to own the one Taylor made.

That's a gorgeous rifle, and good on you if you bought it!
