I understand the inventor was burned at the stake and the concept was dismissed by hunters for the next 230 years.
Sportsmen haven't embraced it even yet. ::

The flint if I recall is held in jaws that are at the end of a pin . The pin is surrounded with a coil spring and it was cocked much in the same way as you would pull the plunger on an pin ball machine . Its my understanding the flint was extremely hard to change or maintain also I don

That's got to be a forgery.
Inlines are a modern 20th century aberration.

Seriously, too bad there is not more photo's. I'd really love to see an old original like this up close.

EXTREMELY RARE ENCLOSED FLINTLOCK FOWLER, by J. EBERT of PRAGUE, ca. 1720: In overall near excellent condition. The octagonal to round, 43", sighted, smoothbore, pin-fastened, ribbed, .67 caliber barrel with a richly chiseled and silver inlayed breech: chiseled bronze barrel-tang. The top of the breech with a silver "Joseph Ebert In Prague" signature (Joseph Ebert, Prague Czech 1710-1740, Stockel vol. 1, pg. 331) within a rectangular border. Relief carved and molded burl walnut halfstock with raised cheek-rest and scroll carved borders: horn fore-end cap. Full gilt bronze and relief chiseled mounts. The sideplates depict Boar and Stag hunting, with mounted hunters and their hounds in pursuit. The trigger-guard and cocking lever with chiseled baroque scrolls and masks. The bow of the guard with a pronounced King's head within an oval medallion. Three ramrod pipes, the rear two with deep scroll chiseling. Buttplate with a long and deeply chiseled tang, engraved en suite with scrolls and masked medallions. Enclosed flintlock mechanism with internal coil mainspring and concealed hammer. Engraved, barrel-mounted frizzen: closes flush with the barrel-top when the gun is cocked, creating a waterproof seal. In overall near excellent condition and of extreme rarity. The barrel with choice, smooth, steel-gray surfaces with very minor and scattered touches of discoloration. Sharp engraving, chiseling and silver inlay at the breech: bold signature. The beautifully figured and richly carved burl walnut, retains nearly all (97%) of its varnish has sharp carving and virtually no handling marks: an old and tight hairline at the fore-end. The mounts of very high quality; embellishment with sharp detail and 85% gold gilding, remains. The trigger-guard with an old and barely visible solder repair. Complete and original throughout, including the wooden ramrod: mechanism slightly out of timing. A very high quality and extremely rare type of gun, with only several known examples of Enclosed Flintlocks extant. Made by a very prominent Czechoslovakian gunsmith, who worked at the zenith of Bohemian Gunmaking. The Ebert family had a long lineage of gunsmithing dating back to 1627. There are over ten Ebert Family members recorded as gunsmiths (Stockel, vol. 1). For similar examples, please see: The Art of the Gunmaker, vol. 2, by J. F. Hayward and European & American Arms, by Claude Blair, plt. 341. Overall length 57 1/2".
Price: SOLD
Maybe now, I cant get any more pics?

i think your right RB the one i have seen had something of what you speak of . when fired the flint would come forward and scrap against the frizzen ., kind of like a chisel does if held flat . I do remember the book stating that the system was very hard to maintain .
I wish I could find the one with the flintlock in the center of the stock. This looked really neet and I bet would have worked well if not for the flash in the shooters face . It kinda reminded me of the action on a lever action rifle or a revolver with the hammer being replaced by a cock
