Jack Haugh was truly one of the best gun builders we had. He passed in early 2018, I believe. Frank and Cole are his sons. Bryndon Steele (BSteele) will probably be along soon to comment as he was quite close to Jack and spent a lot of time in Jack’s shop in Milan, Indiana. We’ve lost two of the best the last few years in Jack and Jerry Fisher and they’re definitely missed. Two of the finest men I’ve known.

The action has been identified ,the guy arguing with the results admits he knows nothing and sharing second hand information it is a wonderful gun built by a great craftsman .i have owned a bunch of rolling blocks I only have one 1902 left it has the rotary ejector my 1897 had the sliding extractor .i have a hiwall that was converted from leaf main spring to coil spring it has the cut in the action for the leaf spring it is not a original coil spring action .i hope you get my point.mark

I know that rifle well. It hung on the wall in the shop for a long time. It’s a Gove copy. Gove made the lever to assist in chambering a cartridge in a dirty chamber. It’s a hell of a lot of work to make that conversion. The set triggers and sights were made from scratch. The rear sight being a copy of a Fruend. I don’t recall who made the tang sight, but I’m sure it was the best available at the time or he would have made that too. The barrel is most likely a Douglas, as Jack was also great friends with Fred Depoy at Douglas and got the best of the best blanks.
He built it to shoot BPCR, but it was a couple ounces over spec. He was trying to decide if he should rebarrel, rebore to a 45 cal, or shorten the barrel to make weight when a friend offered to buy it. Great find!

[quote=Discus420][quote=BrentD, Prof] Mr Steele I have been in touch with Jacks son Cole and he is looking through Jack's files for more info . I guess Jack took a lot of notes. It would be extremely helpful if you could put a date on when the rifle was made , when it hung on the wall???? When it sold??? Any and all information would help a great deal. I dont expect dates but general time frame would narrow things down a bit. Thanks Bill

Steele; Thank you very much for stating that the double set triggers were made from "scratch"by Jack. He was the acknowledged master of building double set triggers in the USA. Stephen Howell

An authoritative source says it is an early #1.
But really doesn't matter. It's a very sweet rifle. And again, I hope you have what it takes to load for it. Anything come with the rifle? I Added a bunch more photos that the gunshop used for the GB ad it will show what type of Remington it is if can get some of the experts to take a look please https://photos.app.goo.gl/W2V1coxjutX5zw6N6
