Engraved Aaron Little/W. R. Leeson Boxlock Double Rifle in .500 Linebaugh

Originally manufactured in the early 20th century and expertly converted to a double rifle by Aaron Little in the 21st century. The rifle features blued barrels with a beaded blade fore sight, fixed rear sight on the rear quarter rib which is marked "A. M. LITTLE BESPOKE GUNMAKER MINEOLA, TX.", "500 LINEBAUGH" near the left breech, and chambers with ejectors. The barrels are fitted to the casehardened boxlock action which features attractive scroll engraving, maker signatures on either side, double triggers, bushed firing pins, and a tang mounted automatic safety with gold inlaid safe indicator. The rifle is fitted with a nicely figured and multi-point checkered forend with engraved iron and an Anson button release as well as a straight hand stock with monogram in the inscription oval and a Silver's style recoil pad. Length of pull 13 7/8 inches. Weight 6 lbs. 10 oz.

ConditionVery fine as built by Aaron Little, retaining 95% blue finish, fine silver patina on the action, light handling evidence, and crisp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
