Don Bruton Smooth Rifle
« on: April 02, 2016, 06:18:27 AM »
I just picked this up yesterday. L&R Queen Anne lock, 42" 62 cal smoothbore full octagon Colerain barrel, all furniture and trigger were forged by Don. He made the front site from a silver dollar my dad carried all my life and most of his. Waiting for the weather to clear to shoot it.

Nice looking smooth rifle!  I love my Bruton gun.  Mine has a .54 cal swamped rifled barrel.

Hi Steve, You and I met at Muscogee Long Rifles back in early December.  I saw this rifle that day and it is a fine looking firearm.  Hope to see you again soon.
