I know most people here are not interested in these type of firearms, but until Josh gives us a range report on his R9 there is not much else to talk about.
This Wildey Carbine/ Pistol I bought came in today and it is much nicer than the pictures show. I is a Wildey frame with a removable buttstock, 18" barrel and forearm chambered in 475 Wildey Magnum and a Leupold 2X long eye relief scope. There is also a 12" pistol barrel chambered in 45 Winchester Magnum.
It came with a custom wood case to store everything. In the lid are three compartments. The top has gunsmith screw drivers and a Wildey Factory cleaning kit. The middle compartment hold the extra pistol barrel. The bottom compartment hold a 3 die set for loading 45 Win Mag and a 4 die set for loading 475 Wildey Magnum.
The previous owner went up to Wildey and specced the whole thing out and Wildey built it all. I am sure it is a one of a kind set. I have been chasing Wildey's for several years now and have never seen anything like it before.

That is a museum piece and a keeper, for sure, in the mean time.

That is a keeper! Good luck with it, and enjoy it!

Charles Bronson could have used that setup. Beautiful, enjoy.

Very cool and unique piece!

I hereby put my DE .50 AE back in the safe and withdraw from the big-bore gun competition. ;)
That is a stunning set! Thanks for posting the photos.

Here are a couple more with the Carbine knocked down.
It is real big, the case measures 15" x 26" x 5".
