I got a chance to handle an interesting gun at an LGS. They had just received it and had not even closed the deal on it yet, but they let me handle it.

It was a ".45 - 2 1/10" resleeved into a 16 gauge German sidelock that was interesting in its own right. The resleeving was flawlessly done and the action was incredibly smooth and crisp. Everything about this gun suggests that RJ LePage was a very talented gunmaker. But who is/was he? The gun had only it's original german proofs. I take that to mean that LePage was probably on this side of the Atlantic, but I have never heard of him.

Beautiful rifle, perfectly balanced (for a double rifle). It was about the only thing that was good about today, other than Dusty got through the vet reasonably well.
