An opportunity to buy a custom rifle

Hello Forum, new member here.
I was at the local gun shop today and I saw a muzzleloading flint lock rifle up for sale. This rifle is fairly plain, no patch box. It has a .45 cal. barrel that was made by Getz and a Siler lock. On the top flat it says R Ambright 2005 No 33. I am looking for any information on this rifle, it kind of sings to me and I am sorely tempted to pick it up. It is in very good shape, well cared for, just kind of plain.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Mark

You should first, be sure it's not loaded when you handle it. You'd be surprised at how many times when I've looked at a muzzleloader at a LGS, I've found it was loaded and the clerk had been waving the muzzle all over the place.

Then inspect the bore. The best way is to get a cheap inspection camera around 5mm size off Amazon, that plugs into your phone.
The "field expedient" way is to make a bore-reflector by taking a modern cartridge casing such as a 9mm Luger or .223 Remington casing, and cover the primer-end with a shiny bit of aluminum foil. Then drop the casing down the barrel with the shiny side toward the muzzle, and when you shine a flashlight down, the foil will reflect enough light back up toward you, to give a moderate check of the bore. IF the bore looks OK then I'd buy it, depending on the price, but that's just me.

You know the old saying, "plain girls make the best wives." She might be a lights out shooter.

My taste runs to the plain rifles but that's just me. As long as it's in fine shape and the price was right I wouldn't hesitate to pick it up. Found this on the forum that mentions R Ambright's guns. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
