Question browning 45 cal
#2
I did some searching and I can't find a value on them. However the 45s likely were not as popular as the 50s or the 54s. Nothing wrong with a .45 though IMO. The Browning Mountain Rifle is a fine looking piece and $300 would be a pretty cheap price for one. I wouldn't go over $500.
Maybe someone else has more info they can share with you.

I have an old copy of Fjestad's "Blue Book of Modern Black Powder Values" from 2002 and it states that there were two models offered...
Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle - .50 perc., 30 inch octagon barrel, single set trigger, select walnut stock, cased with medallion and powder horn. 1000 mfg. in 1978. The value listed in 2002 for 100% condition was $750
Mountain Rifle - .45 or .54 caliber perc., similar to the Jonathan Browning model without Centennial embellishments, not cased.
The value listed in 2002 for 100% condition was $595
There is no mention of what the twist rate was for these rifles. I'd say offer $300... if he takes that, grab it and run!
