Does anyone know how many or have any original pictures of a fullstock flintlock vincent rifle. I know that a few were made but cant find any info on them.

I had a fullstock made in the Vincent style. I searched for photos of Vincents but only found halfstocks. I don't know if I even have any of the contact info anymore as there was a person in Oklahoma that had quite a few original Vincents.

The now defunct Golden Age Arms had a kit in their catalog with photos. I don't remember if they had pics of an original with it. I do remember it had a unusual triangular cheek piece. If you could find somebody that had their old catalog laying around it might help you.
Also you might contact the Log Cabin Shop in Ohio and see if they can steer you to some photos. I understand they have a Ohio rifle collection in their shop.

I have an old Golden Age catalog. There is a picture of a fullstock Vincent kit, but no picture of an original. The catalog says that was accurately patterned from a Caleb Vincent original rifle.

The Association of Ohio Longrifle Collectors
might have something on their site.

Muzzle Blast Magazine of March, 1983 has an article on The Vincent Family. The photos show a fullstock flint Vincent, barrel might be about 36". It has five oval-looking escutcheons on the forend, probably for three keys with two inlays spaced between. It has a big patch box with five piercings and a four-petaled flower finial. Trigger guard looks like other Vincent rifles. Has a normal looking cheek piece with an unusual hunters star inlay. Behind the cheek piece is an eagle inlay with wings flaring. I don't think I have the original magazine, a friend loaned me a photocopy of the article. You might be able to find it on Muzzle Blasts web site. Photos were by G. Shumway of three rifles owned by the William Reynolds Collection. I could post a photo but it might not be legal because of copyright.

The Davis Gun Museum in Ardmore, OK (if I remember right) has a good collection of Vincents. I went thru there a couple of years ago but didn't have time to stop. You can check their web site.

I have just completed a Vincent, and if you need help designing a fullstock, I could scale it out from the photos and make a close design from them. Or help you do it.
