That's an exceptional rifle and thank you Roscoe for taking the time to photograph all of the internal parts as well.

Exceptionally nice Single shot. I must admit that I find the Scottish makers have a certain individuality which I find very appealing. Beautiful tasteful engraving.

You can certainly see where Ruger got many of there ideas from as the No.1 uses many parts which are similar in design and most notable the front mounted mainspring.

More technical documentation of this wonderful rifle.

This rifle was fitted with the "Coles Patent Foresight Protector", which is not a very common accessory........

When I had Mike Rowe make scope mounts to fit the original Fraser bases, Mike was interested to know the details of the Coles Foresight Protector. He asked if he could disassemble, examine, and photograph it. I agreed.

.......

We do well to document these rare treasures.

The last line of the quote sums up this Forum - we're are here to record & preserve these 'rare treasures' because that is exactly what they are!
And finally to Mike who has worked his magic & got this fabulous old lady another set of 'glasses' again - true they might not be the exact ones she started out with, but she can certainly see one hell of a lot better now!

Well done gents, it really is a privilege for us to be included!
Keep buying a bigger safe Capt, more gems out there waiting to be discovered!
