Excellent pick up Buckstix a seriously good rifle. I am sure you will have much pleasure owning and shooting it
The case and accessories a real bonus

The reason for the full length "invisible" rifling is probably that Fosberry's patent of 1885 was still extant (I assume it covered partial rifling) and that full length would not be covered by it

Good luck shooting it and please keep us informed

Hello TH44,
Thanks for the reply.

You might be right about the patent.

Anxiously awaiting the shooting results, we are.

Hello Daryl_S
Thanks for the reply.

I have brass coming and have already cast bullets.

Quote:

Very nice gun. It was my understanding that paradox guns were only rifled the last couple of inches of the barrels not the entire length. Is that incorrect?

Hello Wayne59
Thanks for the reply.

Different manufactures of paradox rifles had different methods of rifling. Some only the last 2 or 3 inches at the muzzle, some full length with shallow cut rifling, and some like this one with "invisible" rifling like that of Charles Lancaster's oval bore paradox guns.

Nice!
I'll stay tuned for the field report.
:-)

Hello tinker,
Thanks for the reply.

I'll keep you posted.
