This specific model, crafted in 2016, combines historical design with modern manufacturing techniques, offering an authentic shooting experience for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

However, the bore remains in excellent condition with a clean, mirror finish and sharp rifling. This sale includes the rifle itself, equipped with an aftermarket rear peep sight and front fiber optic blade, perfect for enhancing your shooting experience.
Delving into the features, this Pedersoli Kentucky Rifle boasts a .50 BPM caliber with a percussion lock system, considered more reliable than the earlier flintlock system.

This blend of historical authenticity and modern reliability makes it perfect for historical reenactments, traditional hunting, and target shooting. The 35.56" barrel length and 13.5" length of pull ensure a comfortable and precise shooting experience, while the bright and clean bore speaks to the rifle's overall quality and care.
