Thanks Jim. Terry Weiland first wrote about that renovated Reilly 15 years ago. It's been a favorite of his and mentioned in his articles for years along with other Reilly's. He also wrote an article in Double Gun Journal about Reilly in 2014.

However, I have never been able to get a Serial Number or address on the rib for that renovated gun from any of his articles. I've written to an email he used a few times; I believe he lives in Missouri - without success.

I have contacted Grays Sporting Journal and asked that they please pass a message to Terry about the History and dating chart and ask for the SN of the gun. I don't think he will reply but I would like to talk to him. He was one of the first to write about Reilly's back in the early years of this century and Reilly's clearly are one of his favorites.

In one of his articles some time ago he wrote about a .577 snider cartridge double rifle (now a 20 bore shotgun). I have been able to lift a SN from the cover, 14201...by my chart that would be 1866. It sure looks like it was originally a pin-fire rifle to me modified to center-fire to adapt to the Snider cartridge which was adopted in 1866...then later to a 20 bore shotgun.
