One of the rifles in the shipment is very strange. Not a single proofmark that I can see anywhere. No maker's name or mark. Nothing. Enjoy.

Extraordinary rifle. Looks really well made and beautifully finished. Not seen anything like it ever. Good video as well. Thanks for showing that and be interesting if you find out anything about it.

What an interesting rifle and quite nice with the engraving as well.

Imagine in the days of still most using muzzle loading long arms, having an eight shot rifle.

Mike,
That is very nice. What an interesting and ingenious loading mechanism. Is the cartridge a shortened 360EX. Like to see your video of shooting this gem.

The Handloaders manual for cartridge conversions says that you anneal a .303 savage and taper expand it to 9.3 then trim to length.

That is one unique rifle. I do like the strange loading method. Good pick up.

Amazing rifle!
Certainly unique & obviously well made & timed.
What will the diet for this 'unicorn' be Casper - BP or NFB loads?
Will be interesting to see how you come up with the load to run in this gun - how do you do it?

I bought it for my buddy. He likes black. It's ok, I don't hold it against him.
