54 caliber Steel mounted schimmel rifle
« on: April 03, 2025, 01:12:51 AM »
 Schimmel style rifle in 54 caliber weighing just over 6 lbs. The barrel is a c weight Colerain 54 caliber at 42" with low sights. The overall length of the rifle is 56.5" with a LOP at 14". The rifle is stocked in curly maple and stained with aqua fortis and tannic acid, sealed with tried and true varnish oil. The lock is an LR Germanic style, and the stock has some simple incised carving.I am asking $1,400 plus shipping,  will be shipped in a crate. Contact me at 916-225-2416 for more information, thank you!

He provided his phone number in the listing details. Have you tried calling or texting him?

I have. He still has NOT put a card with he’s Name and date over at the other Muzzleloading site. He hasn’t commented on either site since putting up the rifles for sale. I was taking once I’m not going to be taken again. It’s a shame because they are some nice rifles.

Sorry guys I'm a real boy!  I've been incredibly busy with a move and some family health matters and just not online at all. The muzzleloading forum posts have been updated with my user name on a notepad. Sorry for the delays. For those interested and wish to contact me please shoot me a text first, or leave me a message if you attempt to call, hope to hear from you!

My appologies, I've been very busy lately and have not been online at all, if you do reach out to me via call, just leave me a message and I'll get back to asap, text is also good. I work odd hours now so my free time is flying away

I can't see a butt plate, but if there is one it is minimal. There is no muzzle cap or foreend rod pipe and no side plate. For comparison, I weighed my Kibler 54 cal Woodsrunner, and it's 7lbs 2ounces on my scale, and has all those listed items, so "just over 6 lbs" seems more than possible. To me, it looks like it was built with weight reduction in mind. It is a really pretty rifle I'd be proud to own and hunt with if I was less equipped.
