I would not restore that one if it was mine. Looks perfect as is.

Even though I occasionally entertain the possibility of having it brought back to the glory of day one, truth is that it will probably never happen and that it will be passed along in all it's present high vintage condition.

Here's one you won't see every day. A Dickson Round Action double rifle.

I am the very fortunate owner of this piece. According to Donald Dallas' recent book, Dickson only made 14 double rifles on the Round Action patent.

This rifle is chambered in the .500 3-1/4" Express. It's a real shooter.




















I am very fortunate to be the current caretaker of this fine rifle.

P.S.

Back to the original question of this thread. Steve Davis is the expert on Dickson Round Action guns and rifles.

Yes - Steve is the man for Dicksons.

Your big .500 is a wonderful rifle. One of a kind, indeed!
