This is a very nice custom longrifle by Mike
Davis of Missouri. It is new and never fired.
This rifle is stocked in a piece of
nice curly maple that that is stained to a nice brown with a hand-rubbed oil
finish. There is about a ¼" cast-off in the stock.
All of the iron hardware is hand forged by Mike. The barrel is a Rice
44" in
.45 caliber with a deep browned finish. The bore is in excellent condition. The
lock is a Chamber's late Ketland and there is a touch hole liner. This is a not a
run-of-the-mill mountain gun available today. With just the lock and barrel
being the only store bought parts, this gun closely copies the guns made in the
small custom shops of early America.
Overall it is in excellent condition. Inlets are tight and well done and it
holds nicely.
Weight is 7 lbs. 15 oz. Pull is 13 ⅝".
