4-bore Rodda Double Rifle
|
See the GunsInternational ad for description and photos.
Perhaps the current owner will allow us to archive the photos (and hopefully higher-resolution images...) here on the site.
Cheers

Wow!!
A truly nice and extremly rare gun with accessories, cased and such.
ANY 4bore ( or 6bore) are rare ducks.

Beautiful gun. I am sure it has seen the inside of a howdah on several occasions.

Nice to see , pics are better on the home site .
I remember seeing the pair for sale years ago at Cape Outfitters (the ad) & wondering why some one would need a pair of 4 Bores , thinking one would do the job
Found it !

Driven tigers and a loader perhaps.

Yeah, it's a cool one for sure.
I think one of our fellow members here may have actually shot it some time in the past week or so -- I'll be interested to see if anyone chimes up on it in the next few days.
Also I'd really like to see higher-resolution photos.
Maybe we need to send a request to the seller.
Cool locks on that thing too.
Notice the safety-sear arrangement on the tumbler?
Cheers

Thanks for asking

Go to Hallowell's website for high resolution photos:

It's a beauty for sure, but Jeez! $125k!

I've known and seen this gun for over a decade. It is one of the best and was owned by a good friend here in Alaska and now is owned by another friend in the lower 48. It is one of a pair that sold about 12-15 years ago (if memory serves), shoots very well. It has slow twist and is made for a 1400-grain round ball. Chamber size is a 4, bore size is a 5, proofed as a 6.
Cheers,
Cal
