Timing of your original post was perfect, it will be ready this week, stopped by to check on it tonight, he needed to do just a little fine tuning on the half cock notch and fly fit.

I liked it when I found it, cased, most of the accessories, the leather for the shot bag was gone, but the brass measuring end was there and I found a nice original shot snake with an Irish tip anyway. The case also had a powder flask, a turn screw, a nipple wrench along what seems to be the original rod all in there.

Surprising modern dimensions on very solid wood that cleaned up nicely. I have had a scope down the bores and they are good, frosted, very little pitting and 45 to 50 thousands in the walls.
