Looking for data or photos of any Farrow rifles for a project. All help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Ben,
There's not much available info about Farrows Rifles and few shooters have even seen one example.
Are you considering building such a rifle? I ask because the ASSRA Archive list the plans for a Farrow Action, (model not known) and if it is like other plans in series it will be fully dimensioned, in other words an Engineering Drawing. The plans (several sheets) are A4 size, and are US$ 10.00 per set, any print shop can enlarge them to full size for a few Dollars.
Now the bad news, the Archive is being packed up for transit to a new Archivist and with plans to get everything catalogued and computerised, it may take some months before they are available again. Someone on this Forum may have a set they could let you have.
The now defunct Frontier Arms Co that produced action castings kits did include a Farrow Rifle in their on line catalogue, and it may be possible that someone has such a kit put away under their workbench. You could try an advert in the Want to buy/sell Section of this Forum. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Milton Farrow published a book, 'How I became a crack shot: with hints to beginners'. W. Milton Farrow 1882.
This book has gone through several reprints over the years and copies can be found on
(You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) from as little as US $3.95 upto over US $50.00
Good luck in your search.
