That's a real nice piece, would like to see what it sells for. They made many styles over 20 years, I have one strapped to an Excelsior with a removable stock, the chamber brakes sideways to put in 1- 22 bullet. Some of them came in a leather bag. Mine is a 1886 model. I was offered alot for it but it looks cool on the bike.

There are others currently selling but the bidding is only a couple hundred. The pristine condition of this one, to include the box, is what will set it apart form the rest. V/r Shawn

I hope the seller doesn’t ship the gun in the box! Old cardboard vs. metal is never a win win whilst being shipped.

This "rifle is facing the wrong direction! I have seen it go off before though when my freind was putti9ng his on his bike.
Seriously, does anyone recognize this weapon? Can't use it at the single shot competition this weekend. The short ones with a rolling block chamber are hard to figure out they are so simple. Can I see the other side of it? Just kidding for sure lltc. so easy to see it then not see it then see it again....no worries!

I literally went past it 565,000 times trying to miss it and did. We should come back to these portables for sure....
They are incredible really. I would love to see a nice blued example case hardened by hand.
