This roller started as a 32 rimfire. I fitted a new stock, slow rust blued the metal and added sights. Engraving by Otto Carter.

A couple targets shot from a bench. The smaller group with one flyer was 50 yards. The other group was 100 yards. She is pretty and can cook as well.

Not sure how I missed this post before today? That's a stunning #2 Roller! One of the finest I've ever seen!

Thank you for the compliments.  This site is a wealth of knowledge and inspiration and is the reason for this project. I appreciate everyone that shares tips, photos and experiences. Those contributions have made  me a better craftsman and fueled my interest  in these old rifles.  I have several more projects underway. I hope to be sharing them soon.
