In my original post I mentioned that the rifle my friend bought was the PH 1, but I was mistaken. It is the Brousse. I saw the rifle tonight, and it is gorgeous! Beautiful wood and engraving. The action does take quite a bit of effort to close, though. Hopefully, a good cleaning will ease things up a bit.

I have another question, (actually, my friend has the question): which barrel does the front trigger fire? Oddly enough, there was no instruction manual provided with the rifle when it was shipped to my friends FFL dealer.
