Zettler percussion rifle
|
Just lucked into a new rifle today.
Still haven't found a new place to host photos, but this is the matching gun that I found at auction for quite a bit less:
Zettler auction
Bore is in fair shape and the rifle needs some TLC, but looking forward to getting it shooting again.
Apparently Zettler bros were a shop in NY that did quite a bit of work on schuetzen rifles. This one isn't a schuetzen, but it does seem to be a terrific hunting rifle.
Any help with a hosting site for pix would be great. Having issues with Hunt101.
thanks
Tom

What calibre, Tom?
Scrubbing the bore with a bit of WD40 in a patch of Scotch-Brite, really tight in the bore over a jag can help many bores slick up a bit.
to me, appears a typical Euro hunting rifle - well done.

Never thought of using Scotchbright, but sounds like a good idea.
