Joel,
That is a .54 cal. Leman trade rifle that I built in 1983 out of some parts I got together. The barrel is a Green River Rifle Works (not Green Mtn.) 7 land and groove, 1 1/16" x 33" long. It shoots a hand cast .537" ball and .018" ticking lubed with teflon well enough to win the SC State Offhand Championsip several times, and the GA Benchrest Championship. I use the .537" ball for the first shot hunting, and a .530" for quick reloads. The .537" is a pretty tight fit, but that is what contributes to it's fine accuracy. It shoots better than it looks. I had no prior experience with m/l rifles when I built it using a sharpened screwdriver as an inletting chisel, and a few farm shop tools. I did a lot better on the succeeding ones.
The other one is a .45 cal. X-sticks gun, 13.8# and made for competition only. It has a Douglas XX barrel and has won many, many X-sticks championship matches from here to Friendship. Plain cherry stock.
