8 bore swivel breach muzzleloader
      #287915 - 16/09/16 11:28 AM

Hello all.
I have a Lenard Day Swivel Breach 8 bore rifle that is about 3/4 finished. I was hired to put it together about 10 years ago, but the man who "hired" me has never send a cent in payment.
I have done some work and the butt stock is made as well as a patch box fitted (sliding wood).
I made a heavy "range rod" to go with it also.

Because I have never been paid I am forced to sell it.

Such a swivel breach action and set of 8 bore barrels would sell today for about $2,000
I will take $1200 as-is.
I can send pictures to anyone that is interested.

All the finish work of course, but also the pipes need to be soldered to the barrels and a ram-rod made. Then carving and engraving if it is desired.

The action latch is not assembled right now and in fact 1 or 2 small parts may have to be made, but that is easy work to do.

Sorry but no, it was sold and shipped out to a man who is going to finish it himself.
