Having been asked to post this on another forum I thought you may be interested in this

Alexander Henry Sporting Rifle, left hand lock, calibre .450 N0. 2 musket

The octagonal barrel is unusual, according to Wal Winfer, was only used (usually) in cheaper rook rifles

It is muzzle heavy (compared to my George Gibbs) but has basic express sights so is clearly a sporting rifle not a target arm

Left hand lock

Basic express sights

Engraving second quality but more than good enough for me!

Safety lock on operating lever a nice touch

Bore is good, shoots very well

Original owner's initials??

Barrel and action Patent numbers with serial numbers tally and put it at April 1878 according to Wal Winfer and Jonothan Kirton

Comments please, especially re: the octagonal barrell, or just enjoy
