Unmarked Custom Single Shot Rifle in 500 Nitro Express Caliber

The only visible marks are ".500 N.E." on the left side of the barrel and "F.L.W.R. III" on the right side at the breech. The action appears to be a Farquharson single shot falling block with a locking lever. The heavy barrel is fitted with a raised ramp brass post front sight, a three folding leaf rear express sight on the quarter rib and a peep sight on the rear of the quarter rib. The express leafs are marked "100 YDS", "200 YDS" and "300 YDS". There is a band at the half way point of the barrel with a sling swivel stud mounted on the underside. Blue barrel with casehardened remaining parts and mounted with a nicely figured multi-point checkered walnut forearm and straight grip stock with a leather covered recoil pad. Length of pull is 15 inches.

ConditionVery good as professionally finished and custom built with 99% plus blue and casehardened finish remaining. There are a few very light scratches on the barrel. The wood is also very good as custom made with a few minor handling marks and sharp checkering. The action is excellent.
