Another nice piece Rick. I would look good alongside my other Indian items!! Seems the stocks on these had a rather weak spot judging by the number that have had wrist repairs. What is overall length please?

Amazing piece! I love the leather and beads pendant.
I wonder where the barrel comes from, Persian or Ottoman?? Best, Kubur |

Thanks for your comments. Agreed. The leather work and ethnic bead work really add to it. And that it's shootable is an added bonus. Rick. |

Thanks for your comments. The sling and beaded pendent came with the gun. And yes, the fancy knot work on the sling at the barrel and the beaded pendent really add a "tribal" look to the gun. Very neat. Can't really tell where the barrel was made. No watered/damascus pattern. Just straight iron. Doesn't really look Persian, Ottoman, or Indian. But it's very well made. Beautiful outside profile, with flip-up rear sight, and well executed rifling using the later round bottom rifling, making it easier to clean. And it shoots well. Unfortunatly, there are no marks on the gun anywhere. Thanks for posting. Rick. |

Overall length is about 50 inches. LOP about 13.5 inches. Yes, the combination of the heavy barrel and thin butt stock would make for a weak point at the wrist area. It's very comfortable to shoot from the bench. Interestingly enough, if you cup the butt stock under your arm pit, it's very easy to carry. The heavy barrel is less noticable. Thanks for posting. Rick. |
