Custom Cast Gun
Investment Casting Specialists Recreate Antique Rifle
Quality Castings utilized the precision investment casting method to help recreate this renown, antique rifle.
No molds existed for the classic 1862 single-shot Peabody Rifle, originally manufactured by the Providence Tool Company. When Wisconsin antique rifle enthusiast Frank Wierus, decided to recreate it, he called on the precision investment casting specialists at R2 Quality Castings.
Our experienced casters covered every detail. The outside hammer was mounted on the right and has three positions: fully cocked, safe and down. Reproducing the rifle meant these intricate parts had to be recreated.
The antique gun magazine, Guns of The Old West took notice of the restored civil war weapons and featured them in an article. They also provided the beautiful pictures of this antique rifle.
