TEXAS TYLER RIFLE.

TEXAS TYLER RIFLE. This gun, with internal serial number “240” on lock, in our opinion is a composite gun made up of some original parts. The 33″, 57-58 cal, sporting bbl is identical to others found on Tyler rifles. This gun has European proofs on bottom as most of reclaimed sporting bbls used by Tyler in much of their production. There is a ghost of a possible serial number stamped on bbl near nosecap opposite bayonet lug but this marking is not discernible. Texas Tyler rifles to the best of our knowledge are all iron mounted This gun is brass mounted with riveted brass nosecap, two heavy brass bands, brass trigger guard and buttplate. The buttplate & bbl breech are both stamped with small “CS” surcharges. We have little doubt that lock and bbl are original but that gun has been restocked. PROVENANCE: Fred B. McDonald Estate Collection. CONDITION: Stock is sound and solid, still with areas of raised grain with numerous small dings and dents. Iron surfaces of lock, bbl and ramrod are dark with scattered areas of pitting. Brass furniture has yellow patina with numerous dings, dents and scratches. Lock markings and “CS” surcharges are easily read. 4-41429 JS44 (6,000-8,000)
