UNUSUAL BULLARD DELUXE HEAVY TARGET RIFLE.

UNUSUAL BULLARD DELUXE HEAVY TARGET RIFLE. Cal. 32-40. SN 4072. Unusual for a Bullard in that most of single shot Bullards have the thin trim receiver with lighter lever & breech block. This rifle has 31-1/4″ medium weight, rnd bbl with globe front sight, a homemade rear sight, probably in an added dovetail and has a thick base, mid-range vernier tang sight with 3-1/4″ staff.

Mounted with very nicely figured, checkered, American walnut with schnable tip forearm & pistol grip stock with high comb with square front edge and cheekpiece with a nickeled brass Swiss buttplate. Cheekpiece is inlaid with a 2-1/8″ oval silver plate, held in with four silver pins & engraved with an early American eagle holding an olive branch in its beak & another in its talons. CONDITION: Very good, all matching. No orig finish remains on receiver with a trace of blue at bbl root, having an overall cleaned silver/gray patina with scattered light rust on bbl & a spot of pitting on left side of receiver. Forearm has a crack by left tip & a replaced sliver at right tip, otherwise wood is sound with forearm a dark oil stained patina with very worn checkering on bottom. Stock, with minor nicks & scratches, showing light to moderate wear on checkering, retains about all of its strong orig varnish. Buttplate retains traces of orig nickel. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore with some fine orange peel pitting just in front of chamber. 4-58912 JR263 (4,000-7,000)
