Hell everyone, greetings from England.
I have a small collection of flintlock & percussion muzzle loaders, all bought in the 1960's. Rules for firing them in the UK are very strict now but back in the 60's I fired quite a few of them. I had most of them stored in the loft and recently got them down to check on their condition . Here I am posting a gun that I was never sure about, it was sold as a boys Kentucky style rifle, it has an an unusual patchbox as you can see. The Rifle is 42" long , sadly converted from Flintlock to Percussion, Barrel is rifled and 27"excluding tang. I'm not sure if it's a genuine gun or something put together at some time.
