Description:

The barrel of this attractive contemporary long rifle was produced by G. R. Douglas of Cross Lanes, West Virginia. It has a browned barrel and lock without a maker's mark, Rocky Mountain style blade front sight and dovetailed notch rear sight, "pigtail" trigger, brass trigger guard, forend cap, and buttplate; a full length curly maple stock with floral carved accents and brass floral/vine inlay, and includes a ramrod with a brass tip and removable jag. The barrel is marked "G.R. DOUGLAS 45 CAL". The inlays, side plate, and the buttplate have some light engraving.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as custom made. The rifle is nearly as it left the shop with only some light edge wear and handling/storage type marks aside from some bright strike scrapes on the frizzen likely from test firing. The action is excellent, and the barrel marking and engraving designs are crisp.
