Builder WM Lawrence Milford Mass. Info Sought
« on: February 12, 2021, 01:46:35 AM »
I have a chance to look at a rifle built by WM Lawrence next week.  His signed barrel indicates he was from Milford Mass.  The rifle is a half stocked back action match rifle.  I am hoping someone can provide some information concerning Mr. Lawrence.  I do think it is a contemporary build.  Thanks in advance.

Greetings Bruce,

I dropped "william lawrence milford Mass rifle" (without the quotes) into the Duck Duck Go search engine and some results were referencing a mid-19th century gunsmith of that name.  Some results were from auction houses.  Maybe check them out and see if there is any similarity.

Please do share pics if you get the rifle.

Thanks Kevin.  I looked using your system and sure enough those rifles are very similar to what I am going to be looking at.  I will post pictures if I buy the rifle.
