This custom-built long rifle follows the traditional American form with a right-hand flintlock and double set triggers. Its unmarked, gunsmith-made origin and hand-fitted construction give it the hallmarks of a bespoke build rather than a factory piece.
The rifle wears a full-length curly/tiger maple stock, showcasing strong figure along its length. Brass furniture is hand-inletted, contributing to the clean fit and classic presentation associated with long rifles of this style.
A multi-piece brass patchbox with a button/knob release is integrated into the buttstock, complemented by an eight-point star butt inlay. These details add both function and period-correct aesthetics.
The approximately 40-inch octagonal barrel is rifled and set up with fixed, dovetailed iron sights: a small front blade and a fixed rear open notch. The package reflects the Pennsylvania/Kentucky-style American long rifle pattern with traditional components and layout.
