Interesting and rare rifles tonight...
I recently met an older gentleman whose family has been collecting guns for 3 generations. I got to see some rare items and some I had never seen before...many variations of rook rifles, single shot variations and martinis and I took a few photos.
BSA RCMP rimfire training rifle
BSA International MK V with original sights...very scarce in the US
Kerner parlor rifle with double set triggers...shoots CB caps...but regulated with multiple leaf sights (how long could a beer hall be?)...it felt alive in my hands...the machining for the full integral rib was impressive and the beautifully inletted buffalo horn trigger guard was incredible
Here's the Greener 310 rook rifle and Vickers Jubilee Martini that I picked up from him...
