Re: Nice 8-bore DR at Rock Island next month

TH44,

I don't have any good photos of this rifle yet but you can see it in this magazine article:

http://www.riflemagazine.com/magazine/article.cfm?magid=44&tocid=553

As well as these two Double Gun Journal issues:
DGJ V9-3
DGJ V12-3

Ross Seyfried owned this rifle until last Spring when he sold it to a friend of his. I bought it from that fellow after he responded to a want ad that I placed in the Double Gun Journal. If I remember correctly, you can see some of the corrosion near the muzzles in one of the photos and there are also some minor pits along the right side from where the rifle sat in a gun case without enough oil on it. I think that this rifle is a bit unusual in that it has 3-3/4" chambers and a rifling twist rate of about 1:53". The groove diameters are about .855". I'll have to take some good photos of it sometime.

Regards,

Jim
