Well I told myself that I wasn't going to buy anymore hammer double rifles. I've cheated. Bought this one yesterday morning. W.W. GREENER - A .577-500 NO.2 EXP. ROTARY-UNDERLEVER DOUBLE HAMMER RIFLE, serial no. 26442, for 1888, 28in.

Looks wonderful. I can see it being carried by the Bwana, in the days of untamed unmapped Africa. Adventures abound.
