Blissett Rook. Probably by John Blissett or Blissett and Sons, c. 1870-1890. Located High Holborn, Company made good quality sporting guns since early 1800s. Bore .300, and probably started life as 300 Rook but rechambered at some point to 32-20. Will shoot a .32 S&W RN sized down or a ..300 or slightly larger round shot both accurately. Not proofed for nitro. Could in theory be reamed slightly to rake .32 shot shells C&R
Perfect for restoration or turning heads at the range "as is".....
Please PM for additional photos or information I can provide.

correct. and have shot .32 S&W RN resized..

 

[Sbarton]

Got it.
Do you have any brass to go with it? Looks like it's a bit rare right now.

 

[former173rd]

I don't. Its been a while since I've shot it...got into muzzle loading stuff. If I remember right, Buffalo Arms sold it then....

 

[former173rd]

I can check with my gun club guys..

 

[Sbarton]

I'm kinda interested. I'll ask my bpcr crew about brass when we shoot Saturday.

 

[former173rd]

Sounds good. I've got a couple of nice BP rifles that are going on the market soon, just FYI.

Nice collection.
I'm actually looking for a good o/u 12g for sporting clays, but I keep finding cool stuff like this rook rifle to spend my money on!
