What’s Included
- Ignition: Flint Piece
This rifle uses a right-hand sidelock flintlock system with a round-faced early-English style lock, bridled frizzen, and gooseneck cock. The single-trigger setup is traditional and straightforward, aligning with the original longrifle pattern.
The 43.25 inch octagonal steel barrel is left in the white and paired with fixed iron sights: a dovetailed front blade and a fixed rear notch. The barrel is pinned to the forend with oval escutcheons, and the capacity is 1 round.
Brass-mounted furniture includes the buttplate, long trigger guard, sideplate, toe plate, ramrod pipes, and nose cap. The stock is figured curly maple left unfinished, with a sliding wooden patchbox secured by a spring catch. Length of pull measures 13.75 inches.
This custom, kit-built example reflects the Colonial American Longrifle series design and is presented in an unfinished, in-the-white state for the barrel and lock, matching the stock’s unfinished curly maple. It is a faithful reproduction built around classic lines and materials.
