Ian Pratt has a set of detailed pictures of Elisha Bull's double grease hole rifle. He shared them (along with several other Bull rifles) with my class at Canter's Cave back in 2017 as our class project was a Bull inspired rifle (we even forged our own furniture). We were asked to not distribute the pictures ourselves though. However, if you sign a confidentiality agreement and submit three letters of reference, Ian might share them with you!  ;)

There are also several pictures of this rifle in Robin Hale's treatise on "Tennessee Rifles."
