Looking for info

I’m curious where this rifle originated from or the maker?






Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

If I had to make a guess, I’d say New York some where.

Without any marking, this gun will be hard to place. Like Hungry Horse, my first thought was New York State. But as it is assembled from commercial parts, it could come from anywhere. Note that big companies like Allen sold metal frames for an assembly like this, but the triangle at the rear of this frame IS distinctive and might match up with some marked specimen

I think that it is probably a Blunt & Syms of New York.  Some were not marked.

Very much shades of Allen & Thurber.

Thank you all for the direction
