SOLD .40 short barrel flintlock

[tnlonghunter]

An interesting small-caliber "Golden Age"-ish era Lancaster-style flintlock built by C.D. "Buck" Rinker in WV. The heart is a 34" swamped "A" profile barrel in .40 caliber with a coned muzzle, with a Siler lock and double-set triggers. LOP is 13.5" to the front trigger. The length and weight make it relatively short/small compared to your typical flintlock. This makes it quite handy in thick woods, and would be especially good for shorter shooters. Incised carving, mostly around the wrist and cheek piece. Scroll engraving on all brass hardware.

I'm only selling, because I have another .40 and want to fund a different gun.

At this time, I'm only looking to sell locally in the Maryland/Virginia area. I really don't feel like dealing with shipping. I'm in the Severn/Ft. Meade area of Maryland, south of Baltimore. I'm also heading down to Williamsburg in late July and can arrange to meet along the I-95 corridor between the 28th and 31st of July (I'll be working, so timing will be important).

$1200.

I'm in Richmond but no way am I driving up 95 through DC. Been there, done that. If you still have in two weeks maybe we can connect on your way down.

Would you please take some pics of the whole gun? The detail pics are good, but need a couple of the entire gun. One of the muzzle and sights also please.

 

[Dryball]

Yea....what Brazosland said.

 

[tnlonghunter]

Here are a few more.

What is the issue with the top inlays on the patch box? Is that the light or is there wood missing?

Specifically the pic with your name card included.

 

[tnlonghunter]

Sorry, that's light reflection. There is no wood missing.

Fine looking rifle.
Have been wanting a smaller caliber with a shorter swamped barrel for a while
Does it have a vent liner, and is the vent properly located?

Does it have a vent liner, and is the vent properly located?

Yes, and yes. Here's a pic. For whatever reason, a prior owner drilled a second touchhole at a slight angle to the first. It looks odd, but it i don't believe it has ever misfired for me.
