Ettore Russo Custom .54 Cal Flintlock Rifle
« on: November 08, 2024, 10:14:10 AM »
Up for grabs is a custom steel-mounted rifle stocked in walnut by builder Ettore Russo. The rifle’s lock is an RE Davis Jaeger style, and the barrel is a straight Green Mountain brand 1″ in diameter by 42″ in length. The LOP of the rifle is a hair over 13″, and the overall length is 56.5″. Weight of the rifle is 9.5 lbs. The stock is finished with a base layer of iron nitrate, followed by tinted shellac, topped with several coats of varnish oil, paste wax has been applied for added protection.

I am asking $1,750 $1,700 $1,650 shipped for this fine rifle. It will be shipped in a wood crate and will include a replacement frizzen and double ball mold (.530 if my memory serves me correctly).

Is there a patchbox catch or release?? Also, it looks like the left side of the side plate extends out past the panel boundary?

Good morning, and thanks for your inquiry!

There is a patch box release button on the top of the butt plate. The side plate -while admittedly close- does not quite extend past the panel.

I would say that the lock on this rifle is a Davis Jaeger flintlock.  It is my opinion that both the sear screw and the sear spring screw have backed out and likely could use a tightening.

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

Thanks for chiming in here, Mr. Sapergia. I’ve checked, and both of the screws you’ve referenced are fully seated.
