Fudd,
I am sure that you already know this but “That weird, partially-obscured chromed or nickelled bicycle-horn in the case in the first picture” is the boiling out funnel from the days when that was a necessity to get rid of the residue from corrosive primers.
Frequently the nozzle end was soldered into a bored out case for a precise fit in the chamber. David Little at Kynamco made some like that.
I found one like that in an antique shop, but sadly it had been chewed by somebody’s dog so I left it.
I agree with you and everyone else, what’ve fabulous rifle. KDGJ - Thanks for the superb pictures.
