Very nice, unmessed with Whitney model 1841 "Mississippi" rifle. Overall very good plus antique condition. The barrel has light pitting near muzzle and rang. Otherwise, thinning factory brown finish. The original .54 bore has deep, clear rifling, with mild, scattered pitting. Needs a better scrubbing. Proofs on left side of breech. Has been updated to accept saber bayonet. The stock has small bumps and bruises, typical of a 175 year old military rifle. The left side forearm has a 7" splinter forming behind middle barrel band that could use attention. Strong lock marked E. WHITNEY over US and N.HAVEN 1848. Brass has a pleasing mustard color. The patchbox contains correct jag, nipple wrench/screwdriver and extra nipple. A very nice example to collect or shoot. $1600 + Shipping.

This single barrel percussion 8 gauge market gun is MASSIVE. Looks like a hyper-thyroid fowler. It is unmarked as to builder. Its half round half octagon barrel is 36" long. At the breech it is 1.5" across the flats. Bore measures .875". Bore is shiny, with typical black powder pitting. The barrel retains most of its original factory finish turned plumb. Underside of barrel has Birmingham proofs. A new stainless steel nipple has been installed. Walnut stock is held to barrel with two captured keys. Fittings are German Silver with engraving on buttplate and triggerguard. Stock is in very good plus antique condition with minimal bumps and scratches. Has an easily repairable crack at toe that does not affect structural integrity. There is a capbox on underside of buttstock. LOP is 13.5". Gun weighs almost 12 lbs. A scarce gun in this condition. $1750 + Shipping.

Android Photos Phrustration

My settings don't seem to have that option or it's obscure. Not wanting to send to computer, but post on forums. I emailed them to myself and my laptop didn't recognize the heic format. -
I use my phone for all of my photo postings. This weekend it did a massive update that included changing how photos are saved. They are now saved as heic instead of jpeg. The instructions online to change settings don't seem to jibe with my phone. The settings have no option for format. Anyone know how to navigate this kind of mess? At the end if the day I'm a Luddite at heart forced to use technology.

My Android did an update that won't let me post photos like before. Seems to want to open my whole gallery. -
I have two military rolling block rifles for sale. Can provide more photos and descriptions for either. Top is a Danish M67 rifle in 11.7x56R. Very good antique condition with very good bore. $650 + Shipping. Bottom is a typical refinished M79 Argentine rifle in .43 Spanish. Overall very good as refinished with excellent bore. $600 + Shipping.
