´one of a kind´ alright there Homer!
"An original Farquharson Falling Block in 450-400 3". Custom stock, Cerakoted metalwork and Recknagel Dangerous Game sights."
Well if there was a contradiction in terms - this would be it!
To cerakote an old Farquharson rifle...to my way of thinking well that is just not right!
Rust blued for that old girl & back to what would be called 'original' as best you could at least, provided that you had more than just say the action alone!
You put it succinctly there bud!
Doh!!!!

Isnt that 350 Rigby Farquharson about 1/3 over priced?
(I still love it though!)

G'Day Fella's,
Yes 93x64, Cerakote "OMG!!!", I thought to myself!
Mind you, most anything that can be applied, can also be removed!
Gunship, I'm not up to speed on current values of these types of firearms but Thank You for clearing that situation up for us!
Regards
Homer
