It is not often someone will take apart there rifle so you can see the inside workings of it, so Thank you very much.

The first set is of the block and it’s components.

DSC_1468csI kind of lust after this rifle and would love to have one. Then I get an e-mail from a friend in North Carolina showing me the pictures of his newly acquired Peabody rifle.

This is just such a nice looking rifle. Great lines.

Peabody-Receiver2Here are a few of the barrel. Just look at the over all condition.

Peabody-SNI would really like to have one of these.

Just as a quick side not. If anyone knows where a block can be found for one of these rifles please let me know. The weapon is a rim fire rifle and my friend wants a spare bolt to convert it to a center fire rifle.
