*CUSTOM BY JOHN MADOLE CASED ENGRAVED RUGER NO. 1 SINGLE SHOT RIFLE.

*CUSTOM BY JOHN MADOLE CASED ENGRAVED RUGER NO. 1 SINGLE SHOT RIFLE. Cal. 45-70. SN 13070423. Built by John Madole, custom gunmaker of Jamestown, KY, this beautiful rifle is nearly an exact replica of a Daniel Fraser of the 1880’s. Mr. Madole barreled it with a 27” medium weight, tapered, rnd Douglas bbl with Fraser style pedestal front sight & 3-leaf pedestal mounted express rear sight with the three Rigby-style panels over chamber. It has had the orig lever removed with a Fraser style lever on right side & a custom built trigger guard & trigger installed. Breechblock was squared up to resemble a Fraser & it has an English style thumb safety on top tang. Mr. Madole very cleverly incorporated a hinged trap door in bottom of action that, when closed, presents a flush, slightly rounded bottom. Receiver is very beautifully engraved with intertwined foliate arabesque patterns in very tasteful proportions & it has a gold wire inlaid border. It is stocked by Jim Corpe in very nicely figured English walnut with an Alexander Henry style forearm with fluted buffalo horn tip & English style checkering. Stock is delicate with raised side panels & checkered thin wrist with straight comb & shallow cheekpiece, 13-7/8” over a checkered horn buttplate. It has horn grip cap. Bottom of bbl is engraved with caliber & the top, behind rear sight “J. MADOLE” and trigger plate “ENG. J. MADOLE”. It should be noted that the checkering & wood to metal fit are of extreme highest quality. Accompanied by a wonderful Huey maple & leather, gray ultra-suede lined, trunk case, No. 618, with brass accessories including an oil bottle, grease bottle, two parts boxes, a patch box, a turn screw, a brush & 2-pc brass & ebony cleaning rod with handle. The three pieces with handles are buffalo horn. It has its canvas & leather cover. CONDITION: Extremely fine, as new. Retains virtually all of its spectacular custom finish to both metal & wood, probably unfired. Grip cap has one small bug bite. Case is equally new. 4-58938 JR341 (8,000-12,000)
