John Rigby & Co. .360 BPE
21/10/12 10:39 PM

I just have acquired a sweet little .360 hammer double rifle by John Rigby & Co. It arrived on FedEx the day before yesterday.

Yesterday I had it on the bench for a thorough cleaning of all the dried oil and crud that had accumulated since the rifle was built in 1880. After careful disassembly I took some rather informal hand-held shots as the work went along.

Later I will take some vanity shots and post here (first 9 shots added 12/09/12), but for now, I hope you enjoy these.

The rifle is just tiny. It is like having a miniature, but real. I will now be gathering loading dies, brass, and a bullet mould to get this baby popping.

The rifle has 26" fluid steel barrels that remain in perfect condition. Length of pull is 14 5/8" to a beautiful checkered steel buttplate. It is a lovely rifle in excellent original condition, and I'm excited.

Above shoulder to shoulder with my A. Henry .577 - I couldn't resist the comparison!
