Davide Pedersoli Pennsylvania Flintlock .50 Cal Muzzleloader Rifle, 36-Inch Barrel, Italy
This Davide Pedersoli Pennsylvania flintlock in .50 caliber is a reproduction muzzleloading rifle configured with a 36-inch barrel, iron sights, and a full-length hardwood stock. Made in Italy, it features mixed brass and browned steel hardware—brass buttplate, trigger guard, and inlay plate, with plain browned steel barrel bands and a nosecap—and traditional single-shot flintlock operation from the Pennsylvania series.

What’s Included
- Davide Pedersoli Pennsylvania Flintlock .50 caliber rifle
The rifle uses a traditional flintlock, single-shot muzzleloading action with an external cock. It is chambered in .50 caliber and built as part of Pedersoli’s Pennsylvania series.
A 36-inch barrel pairs with iron sights, including a front sight, for a classic sight picture appropriate to the platform.
The full-length one-piece hardwood stock is outfitted with a brass buttplate and brass trigger guard, along with a browned steel nosecap. Two full encircling browned steel fore-end bands secure the barrel. Sling swivels are mounted to the stock via studs—one at the toe behind the buttplate and one on the underside of the fore-end—and the length of pull is 14.5.
Made in Italy as a reproduction, this example also places the serial number on a brass plate near the trigger guard, adjacent to a shield-style emblem.
