I like the finish on the metal. What is it? Did it come from Ruger like that or is that custom?
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

Custom but I don't know the right word in English for it. Bead blasting ?

No, it was not a new gun, 300 Winnie. I'm it's third owner and ordered some modifications. Oil finish wood, matte finish steel, set trigger and compression point under barrel for consistency. My only complaint is that I can't find a Qd swivel ring which properly fits the front swivel stud. The factory stud on the barrel is too thick,

Nice rifle Sherwood. Never seen one of those before.
How does it shoot and what's going on with that trigger?

What kind of action is that ? That's a Daniel Fraser action. It's not even close to a Farky. The farky was operated with an underlever sort of similar to a Ruger #1.

This is a Farquarson. See any differences?

Second one is an Alex Henry.
First one has some westley richards aspects but probably too basic for that.

Bingo! Bring an apple to bribe the teacher and you'll get 100% on the test! The first one is a WR 500/450 #1 Carbine. It's a tiny little 458 cal. that is pretty close to the 45-75 but shorter. The second one is very similar to mine but I was too lazy to drag it out of the safe tonight. This one is many times nicer than mine. I recently read that the 'stalking safety' shown behind the hammer is very rare when it's in the rear like this. Most are in front of the hammer.

Brent:
The trigger has a small shoe attached that reduces effort. When I do my part, this older rifle shoots 1.5 to 2.5 inch groups at 100 yards with Sierra 125 grain spitzer bullets. Very fast in this 26 inch barrel.

Thanks for the answer. I thought it might be a trigger stop perhaps. Sounds like a nice rifle. I have never seen one before.

I shared a magazine with a friend many years back that had an article on these. That's all it took. Next thing I knew he was building one. Ended up going with the 30/40 Krag. Nice piece!

Did your friend wind up building two of them?
