Nice looking rifle there, you do good work. What makes it an "English Sporting Rifle"?

[Hanshi]

A very nice rifle that I'd rather keep.  Just saying.

The whole style of it hotfxr,  They just about defined well made hunting rifles in middle of the 19th century.  They look very much like a modern rifle some even had pistol grip stocks.   Google English sporting guns----nice stuff.   .....Tom

very nice rifle ! had an original many years back! thyey did some great work , mine had just a bit of engraving , a checkered grip , and a beautiful european walnut stock . mounted in iron and silver . what I liked the most was the sights , it had a three leaf folding rear sight and a gold bead front sight ! and for being around 130 years old at the time was one heck of a shooter !  it was percusion and .45 cal .  like your take on the type , looks great ! guy should be very happy with it !
