SOLD .54 flintlock rifle Hoyt barrel, Chambers lock

[martin9]

For sale is a .54 caliber rifle I built this past hunting season. I killed a nice little buck with it soon after. You can find the thread under my name/posts.

This rifle has a 40" Gain Twist Swamped barrel by Bobby Hoyt. I don't remember exactly but it's something like 90+" twist at the breech and 43" at the muzzle. Amazingly smooth barrel interior. It loads and cleans easier than any rifle I've ever owned. Gun has a Chambers Virginia round faced lock and single trigger, trigger pull is around 3-4 pounds. Maple stock that has some curl here and there. Has what I'd called a "lightly aged finish". Iron hardware. White lightnin' liner. Gun weighs 8#s on the nose and has a 13 5/8" length of pull. Has 1/8" cast off.

Big box on this rifle. I can put a turnscrew, a couple extra flints and leathers. 5-6 balls and a couple small rolls of patching in the box. When hunting with it I would just carry a flat horn and measure in my pocket and start the ball/ cut the patch with my knife.

Price is $1700 shipped
Payment by paypal friends or postal money order.

I had to go back and look at it again. Its beautiful. My birthday is in August Jack so I hope you are done with it by then and can present it to me for my birthday. OH AND YES I volunteer to come get it so you don;t have to go out of your way. I would actually drive all the way to Hawaii to pick it up. I bet you wont stop staring at it for days after you get it. Send it to me to test fire it as I am a professional. lol Let me know how you like it.

I thought you were going to buy that Lancaster rifle off of American forum- the Lancaster. It had been posted before and the guy wanted $2000 but he lowered it to $1400. You got a great deal.

The rifle on the other forum was nice; simultaneously I have to say that I see the one that MARTIN9 offered as
superior to that other one. I am 100% confident that the rifle that I've bought is going to tick all my deer hunting
boxes!

I like everything about that rifle!
Congratulations Jack.
