I saw that last night, Mike. What did you think of the FBW? Do you like them? I'm tempted to bid on it.

I pretty much spend my limited funds on German Schuetzen rifled.

dang, it's been quite a while since I've seen a single shot rifle that appealed to me less.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but to me it's butt ugly

I like the looks of the second one in 32-40 and having a hammer you could shoot it in 200 meter cowboy silhouette;-)

I’ve always liked odd different rifles. Got two hiwalls, hardly ever shoot either one.

There are two rifles by the same maker. Item 98 in 8mm CF is an exceptional example of old world design and workmanship in metal, wood and horn. As for extraction faults in a Martini design, this appears to have solved it in spades.  Pretty nifty rifle to my eye. I will be curious about the selling price as (they)it is certainly unique.
