SOLD Custom .40 Cal Flintlock Colonial Rifle

[tworoosters]

Custom .40 Cal Colonial Rifle
Unknown maker, .40 caliber, 35-3/4" straight profile Sharon Barrel 7/8" across. In the white. Muzzle is marked .40 and 72. Bore is excellent. 14" LOP. Weighs 8lbs 14oz. Nicely figured maple stock with carving throughout, and inlaid cheek piece. Side plate engraved R. A. Rigby, I suspect that was the builder/owner. I wasn't able to dig up any info online. The use of a William Buchele Lock is quite interesting, the only one I've personally come across. Lock function feels great and is very quick with a wooden flint. A nice gun for somebody maybe wanting a shorter than average carved longrifle in a Lancaster sort of style with some great vintage muzzleloading components.

Nice looking rifle, how does it shoot?

 

[tworoosters]

I have not shot this one but I would expect the Sharon barrel to perform very well.

Interesting cheek piece! Two pieces??

Yeah they laid in a darker piece of maple. I think I've seen that sort of thing on a couple original Germanic guns before, maybe that was the inspiration. They did a great job on it.

Really well done!

Wow! I’m not in the market right now but that is a steal. Someone needs to snap this up.
