Here is the straight skinny on this rifle. It is an 8-bore full rifle weighing 16 lbs. It was owned by my brother who had it restocked by Russ Wilson years ago. The metal work was all done my Nick Mackinson in Canada. The barrels are 24" long and not cut. My brother never shot it, but the next owner did and he could not extract the cases. The chambers were not tapered and had to be reworked so it has larger than normal chambers. I was told it would not regulate. Not trying to do downgrade the rifle, just what I know. It is an impressive rifle, Mackinson's engraver added the gold in the name and recut the engraving. My brother had over $5,000.00 in the work done. I bid on the rifle, but was worried about it being stolen so stopped at $7,000.00. I believe it was a 3" paper case rifle with .835 bores. I had a Holland 8-bore double rifle finished at the same time. (sold it like an idiot!) My brother originally bought it from an old Dr. at the Ohio Gun Collectors show many years ago for $3,500.00. The pull by the way was 14 1/2"
By the way Old Sarge, thanks for your service to our country and hope you find a rifle.
