What a gorgeous beauty ..

What make is that knife?

A rare beauty. Jongmans .223 original Mab barrel slow twist but fast and very accurate with up to 55 grain projectiles.



Now has a Stainless 1/8 barrel just as accurate with any projectile up to 65 game king.

Norwest,
One presently on UG with original octagonal tube.

Just been gawking over this thread. @FRST would you happen to still own that rifle?

We sure do

Thanks Ryan. Beautiful knife.

Another one of my projects, a new stock for my old Winchester 70 fwt in .30/06. To me the Winchester model 70 was always the handsomest of rifles. She always shot well, any weight of bullet into exactly an inch group. This rifle has always been lucky which is very important in a hunting rifle. She still has to get a horn or ebony black foreend tip. Or maybe I'll leave it. Not sure...
Plainly I have gone old school here. Obviously all the fleur de Lises will make shooting deer easier.

That @JohnDuxbury, is beautifull.

Now that John Duxbury is just LUVERLEY!!

And a very good point about this rifle being 'lucky'. Some just are, and some just aren't eh.

New old walnut and blued steel

Winchester 1885 Winder Musket 22 LR
Second variation high wall 1912 production with coil main spring
Krag windage gauge rear sights
Unertl 8x 1" objective target scope with medium cross hairs
Barrel lined by Din Collings in 2012

A couple of minor issues to be sorted to make it a perfect vintage target and small game rifle

This rifle and scope package had a short working holiday with me a few years ago
I repaired a couple of small faults and had the joy of getting it all going reasonably well
Range shot it a bit and even shot a hare that wandered through my 100m range one day

But it went back to its owner and was definately not for sale
There was still a serious problem to solve with the extremely tight match chamber
But because that involved some hand reaming to sort I did not undertake the repair

Yesterday morning I was advised it was mine to buy at a very reasonable price
I arrived at the specified time with the money and here it is

Now to consult the .22 LR rifle chamber guru on this forum and tickle out a micron or two from the lead of the chamber

The thing about a High Wall .22 rifle is that it's pretty tricky to get a tiny case into the chamber !

The Winder musket third variation were all made in a low wall receiver and a lot easier to load and unload
