SOLD .40 cal. Cabin Creek Blue Mountain rifle,ash stocked

[Notchy Bob]

The description of this rifle on the Cabin Creek website says it has 1/4" of cast-off. Specifications are here: Pennsylvania Mountain Rifle

I strongly considered getting one of these several years ago. At that time, Brad told me their price to build one of their own kits was $1200, plus the cost of the kit, which is currently $865 in its most basic configuration. The price being asked by Mr. Efremenko, a renowned builder himself, seems like a good deal.

Best regards,

Notchy Bob

I built it. Brad usually assembled his own locks. I believe his son was just a pup when I bought this.

Did they build this rifle or just tune the lock? Flintleather

Complete build.

If it has cast off it probable would be un pleasant to shoot. If it is straight stocked it would be fine. I have owned several left handed flint guns over the years, having shot right handed flint for so many years a left handed gun is awkward for me.
No cast off for a left handed shooter using a right handed flintlock

I have never owned a .40 ball shooter, and the last 36 I owned was 30 years ago. How much recoil would this rifle have with hunting loads and an 8.5# weight?
Edit: I’m not really a flintlock person but it’s such a beauty I’m thinking I might need to become one...

My .40 weighs under eight pounds. With a 65 grain load it hardly has recoil.

I was reading this thread, and I am very familiar with cross dominant eye issues, and thinking “boys it’s a .40...not a .62.”

I love the Lonesome Dove sign

I have a similar sign I made up hanging on a wall in my house....
