Offhand Target Percussion Rifle, previously owned by E.M. Red Farris NMLRA founder

Offhand Target Percussion Rifle

36 Cal (Cast Buck) Fast twist extremely accurate. Adjustable front and rear sights. Octagon barrel. Checkered grip. Wonderful overall condition with minor scratches and safe dings. No rod. Historic gun for the true collector. 

Formerly owned by E.M. Red Farris who in 1933 along with a few other hard-core blackpowder enthusiasts formed the NMLRA in Portsmouth Ohio. Red Farris was a member of the first group to be inducted into the NMLRA Hall of Fame. 

More about Red Farris:  The NMLRA saw its beginnings over 80 years ago when Oscar L. Seth president of the Western Railway YMCA Rifle and Revolver Club in Portsmouth Ohio complained to E. M. Red Farris a local gunsmith that hill-born railroad men freely boasted of their prowess with thte long rifles of their ancestors. Seth and Farris staged a muzzleloader match on George Washingtons birthday in 1931 perhaps because they intended this to be a test of veracity as well as marksmanship. The YMCA offered a glittering $100 trophy as bait to lure the wary mountain men down. That first match brought 67 competitors to the firing line with rusty shootin irons dredged from attic and cellar but not a single mountain man was to be found among them. However the not inconsiderable local interest aroused inspired two more matches in succeeding years.

From the estate of a muzzleloader/gunsmith/long-time attendee of the Friendship, IN shoots, who was a member of Red's legendary "Last Chance Hotel" gang.  The target rifle was eventually passed down to his son Tony, who won the NMLRA junior championship in June 1947.
