Keb,
Tell us a bit more about it. That stock has nice stripes, but I'll bet it is heavy.
Is that cat deadmeat yet? I wouldn't let no cat sit over my gonne, Hee, Hee!
Looks like a real busineslike gonne. I like the double patchbox especially.

JR Salvo made this gun. The gun is surprisingly light and not barrel heavy at all. The stock is ash and the stripes are artificial. All the hardware is hand forged. The barrel is also hand made. I've never shot it but I bet a .22 would rival it in the recoil department. Smiler

By the way. The cat's name is Tips and he's a good friend of mine.

That looks like a sweet gun for sure, I bet it's fun to shoot. Do you know the weight, maybe around 9 or under?

I like your cat Tips, I've got a cat myself and her name is Malee....she's a sweety & pretty but mean to all but me! She's Siamese....so look out Volat!

I didn't weigh it but I'd be surprised if it was more than 6 or 7 lbs.
And yes, it is for sale as everything I have except Tips Smiler

Are you going to leave the barrel finished "bright?"
If not, how are you going to darken it.

I've got a fowler that I was going to just let it age itself brown...but that seems to take forever and will still be mostly bright when I am too old to use it. I'm looking for a way to speed up the process that is fool proof.
