Alexander Henry Sporting Rifle
      13/05/12 08:41 AM

Having been asked to post this on another forum I thought you may be interested in this

Alexander Henry Sporting Rifle, left hand lock, calibre .450 N0. 2 musket

The octagonal barrel is unusual, according to Wal Winfer, was only used (usually) in cheaper rook rifles

It is muzzle heavy (compared to my George Gibbs) but has basic express sights so is clearly a sporting rifle not a target arm






Left hand lock




Basic express sights


Engraving second quality but more than good enough for me!


Safety lock on operating lever a nice touch


Bore is good, shoots very well


Original owner's initials??

Barrel and action Patent numbers with serial numbers tally and put it at April 1878 according to Wal Winfer and Jonothan Kirton

Comments please, especially re: the octagonal barrell, or just enjoy
