What’s Included
- Hatfield Kentucky Rifle Full-Stock Flintlock (.50 caliber)
The 39-inch steel barrel is browned and octagonal, mirroring classic frontier-era styling while offering durable corrosion resistance. Its .50 caliber bore provides versatile performance for both target shooting and traditional hunting.
A finely figured curly maple stock, finished in oil, lends the rifle visual appeal and period authenticity.
Precision double-set triggers allow a crisp, light release after the rear trigger is engaged, aiding accurate off-hand shooting. The German-silver dovetail blade front sight paired with a fixed buckhorn rear sight delivers a traditional sight picture that many flintlock shooters prefer.
Produced in limited numbers in the United States, Hatfield rifles have earned a reputation for quality hand-fitting and attention to historical detail. Collectors value their scarcity, and shooters appreciate the reliable lockwork and balanced 14.5-inch length of pull.
