IDAHO SPECIALS- Idaho has legislated a pivoting outside hammer rule for their muzzleloading big game seasons. Presented below are some suggestions for compliance with that crazy rule.
460- Doc-built Pauley style half stock sporting rifle in 504 caliber, utilizing a Doc-designed White M97 action and fast-twist barrel. Like all Pauley's, this one has a false sidelock with false hammer, action is in-line with White nipple-breechplug, Barrel is true White 504 caliber with 1-24 twist and is in perfect condition, and is accurized and GBW marked. I won a stand up match with it not along ago, takes down with a single fore-arm key and an under-belly screw, has a hooked breech so comes out of the stock easily, Also has a long tang so tall Vernier rear sight fits on metal, not wood. Front sight is Lyman hooded with inserts, Hickory ramrod with brass ends tapped for accessories. Laminate stock, finished a deep reddish brown to mimic the old time English style and color. Inch thick recoil pad. Many English rifles of the period had leather covered recoil pads, this is as close as I could get. The safety, which locks the hammer, is on the lock plate. It's sparsley engraved and finished with Black Ice Teflon so will be great in wet weather. It's the perfect rifle for the traditionalist minded who also wants the best of modern technology. $1000 now $900 OBO on sale for $800
#546- Pauley 504 caliber in line Sporting Rifle with false left hand lock and side lock safety.
The English made many sporting rifles with the sidelock on the left side, but meant for use by a right hander. They had noted that the right hander's thumb lies in perfect position to cock a left sided hammer . This rifle, made by DOC, is made in that style. It's fully useful for both right and left hander. It is 504 caliber, with White 1-24 twist rifling, made for the same Power Punch and Power Star bullets that shoot so well in White designed rifles. The lock and hammer are false, as were all of Pauley's designs, pulling back on the hammer cocks the in-line mechanism so you can cap it ready for the shot. There is also a Side Lock Safety, designed by DOC, that locks the trigger in SAFE when straight up, and releases it for FIRE when horizontal. It is located on the right side. The folding rear sight is mounted on a quarter rib. The tang is long, and will accomodate a tall Vernier rear sight if wanted. I want $1000 for the rifle but will keep it on the SALE page for $800.
The
stock is walnut with nice grain running correctly through the wrist, the pistol
grip is capped by rosewood. Both are stained English Red, then varnished with
Brownell's fantastic waterproof epoxy varnish. The metal is finished with bright
blue Dura-Coat, a better and more durable finish than any ordinary brown or
blue.
The
quarter rib and folding rear sight can be seen in this view. The front sight is
a fiber-optic red bead on a ramp. The ramrod rides on an under-rib and is held
by two ferrules. The long tang will take a Vernier rear sight if you want,The
fore-end is styled after Henry. There is a rubber recoil pad, which does not
look at all out of place. The English originated leather covered rubber pads at
about the time this rifle was designed in 1812.
The
Side Lock Safety is seen here at the rear of the sidelock swell in a very
ergonomic position. It locks the trigger, which locks the hammer, when upright
on SAFE. The trigger is single, with a 2 lb. letoff. It is adjustable. The
cocking handle, seen here on the right, is actuated by a braided wire, which
means you can cock the hammer then push it forward out of battery for the shot
(that way there is no weight on the inline hammer). Also, the hammer cocking
handle can be rotated into the up-lifting safety notch for a second and very
secure SAFE
BOTH OF THE ABOVE ARE PERFECT IDAHO ELK RIFLES, OUTSIDE PIVOTING HAMMERS AND ALL
#519- ENGLISH INFLUENCED FLINT HALF-STOCK 54 CAL SOUTHERN SPORTING RIFLE. A gorgeous piece of walnut frames up this half stock Southern flintlock sporting rifle.

A unique traditional rifle- used only by Doc SACRIFICE PRICE $1000 OBO NOW $800
J S Pauley was a Swiss who worked in London on Gunmaker's Row. His work is innovative and elegant. He patented the in-line action in 1812, only 4 years after Forsyth invented the percussion system, then disappeared in the 1830's. Like many of us innovators, he was far-seeing, perceptive and a master with his tools, but was a disaster with a
Pound.
