	This is a RB#1 sporter in 44-77 that I believe has never been shot or if it has was very little. Still has what appears to be old original grease. Very early serial #15xx. 30" heavy barrel. Special order sling swivels and sights. Breech block shows no indication of brass around the firing pin hole. Very cool old buffalo gun.

	It's hard to find rifles that weren't modified or even drilled and tapped for scope blocks, but what you have is incredible ... WoW!

	I have real mixed emotions about shooting this rifle, I don't suppose it would hurt but it's been sitting my safe for a long time staring at me. I have loaded some ammo for it both of my 44-77s but I keep saying I have lots of other guns to shoot.

	Being that Minty I fully understand the mixed feelings on shooting it. What I do think would be very interesting would be a chamber cast of the neck/throat area and the bore and grove diameters. You often see those sizes listed from well used rifles and they seem to be all over the place. I often wonder if those differences are due to wear or if they were actually made to those sizes. All of that being said. You most for sure have a valuable treasure in that old roller. Sam
