An interesting rifle but you really need to click on to the detailed/expanded photo feature to appreciate the craftmanship in this rifle.
I am not familiar with the original of this rifle. However I am assumining that since Mr Harrison hand made the lock that the original has the same Germanic style.
It is a rare treat to have the opportuninity to view a great photographic essay on a rifle gun built over 25 years ago.
Does anyone have any details on the original that was being copied?

I was fortunate enough to handle this rifle when it was brand new. Looks like it has aged well.
Houston's work is as good as any!
