2 rifles for sale (accepting offers)
« on: September 24, 2025, 02:31:00 AM »
A friend of mine is helping a lady to find homes for 2 rifles that were her deceased husbands.  She wants to sell these 2 rifles at $2000.00 each.  If anyone is interested, please pm me and I will put you in contact with friend who is selling these rifles for her.  Both rifles are .50 caliber and have 42" barrels.  The mountain rifle weighs 9 lbs. 2oz. and has a length of pull of 14".
 The Golden age period rifle weighs 8lbs. 2oz. and has a length of pull of 13 1/2".  It has a swamped barrel.  The carved golden age rifle was made by G. L. Jones.  The mountain rifle is unsigned. 
Thanks, David

Was G L Jones known as a marksman at the Friendship matches back in the 50’s?

Edit…..It Was Vee Jones at the Chattahochie match in 1959 I was thinking about.  This from Foxfire 5.

Are the barrels straight, or swamped?

7/8" straight, if I remember correctly.  Thanks for asking.
