Staggering custom miniature Farquharson .222 Remington, Clayton Nelson, Jerry Fisher, Eric Gold, serial 008, gold relief, pristine and unfired

Superlative Clayton Nelson miniature Farquharson .222 Remington. Commissioned in 1988 and completed in 1993, serial 008 stands tall among the finest American custom rifles ever created. METAL: Jerry Fisher flawlessly executed the balance of the metalwork including revisions to the tang safety, barrel profiling, custom mounts and finishing (rust blue barrel and nickel action/rings). WOOD: From a AAA-grade walnut blank set provided by the commissioner, Fisher fashioned a stock in perfect compliment to Nelson’s petite action. Appointments include an ebony forend tip, 26 lines-per-inch wrap checkering with partial double borders, scalloped pancake cheek rest with shadow line, trapdoor grip cap and a trapdoor butt plate with widow’s peak. ENGRAVING: Signed by Eric Gold, the action highlights a lynx (right) and a coyote (left), each in gold relief and bordered by fine scroll with gold wire accents. The supporting pattern continues over the lever, tangs, grip cap, butt plate, mounts and screws. DIMENSIONS: Weight (with rings) is 6.0 pounds and the length-of-pull is 14.25 inches. The Kimber rings are one-inch medium. CONDITION: Flawless and unfired. The price is firm and layaway is available. $27,500 plus shipping.
