VAll, it's good to know I'm not alone. I can't figure out Imgur on my phone either. Seems pretty worthless as a phone app. but works great for hosting pictures from a computer.

This one came from Monte at Tulsa a few years ago. He said it was the first sporter he saw that made him think there was art involved with bolt action rifles. He cut his teeth in the world of flintlocks and I guess bolt actions look kinda bland compared to a classic muzzle loader.

There are no clues that I have found in the rifle to help attribute it to anyone. Its just an early sporter from that period before they figured out exactly what they were supposed to look like. This guy was in the right path, though.

The horn buttplate is 5-7/8 tall. Looks a little strange, but it handles fine even for a right handed shooter. Im thrilled to see another.

Vall is certainly correct. Even though Dave Norin is very fair on price, it wont be a cheap repair. But its really no good as it is now, it is a pretty neat gun, and you might as well bite the bullet, have it fixed and enjoy it. Unfortunately, youll likely be upside down in it but its only money, right?


No pockets in a shroud.

Beautiful rifle.

Both rifles in this thread are very interesting, and it's a shame we don't know who stocked them. He certainly deserves some recognition. It seems apparent that he had a good eye and a fair amount of experience as well, so there are probably other similar rifles out there, Hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on this mystery.

I agree that the broken stock is worth repairing and saving. I've found Titebond II wood glue to be the best for making repairs in clean walnut where the surfaces can be closely clamped together. The bond is very strong, and the glue joint is less visible than any other adhesive I've tried. Still, as noted, the grain layout seems less than ideal, and it would be advisable to also have some reinforcing pins epoxied in place from within the inletting. That is complicated by the tang screw, so it might be better to bore one larger hole and use a single large hickory dowel instead.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
