Project Description
This is a Remington Hepburn single shot sporting rifle by master miniaturist Mike Barrett. Fully functional but non-firing. Dropping block action with functional extractor. 21 5/16″ long overall with a 13 1/2″ rifled half octagon half round barrel of .22 caliber. Beautifully & finely engraved & gold wire inlaid by master engraver Roger Sampson & checkered by James Corpe. The receiver is finished in a French gray with gold wire inlaid borders on each side. There is an inlaid gold shield on the top of the receiver engraved with a rifle, knife, & bow. The triggerguard is inlaid with a gold wire script “K” surrounded by an inlaid gold wire oval. The bottom front of the receiver stamped “01”. There is a gold wire inlaid band at the breech end of the barrel. The balance of the steel parts finished in a high polish dark blue/black. The final polish, the French gray & high polish blue finishing done by Terry Farrand. Beautiful highly figured walnut forearm & buttstock checkered by renown checkering master James Corpe. The hammer has full cock only. Checkered hammer spur. Dovetailed hooded front sight, no rear barrel sight & no dovetail for one. The tang sight has a cup disc with knurled edges & the staff has graduation marks. Steel buttplate. This is one of only two of these I have ever seen in almost 33 years in the miniature firearms business, both from the same collection, the other still in the white. This is most assuredly a one-of-a-kind, and a true masterpiece! Stock # CK-54. Price: $9,500.00.
