being from Indiana I've wondered if there were any long guns produced in Indiana? where, who, when? I'm sorta new to this but I have seen Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois and others but not Indiana. Maybe I've just not looked hard enough. Thanks for any info
 
I don't know of a lot of Indiana guns (nor Kentucky guns, for that matter...). In the book "Kentucky Rifles and Pistols: 1750-1850" there are two Indiana rifles shown. On p. 163, there is a rifle by J.M. Zink, 1860 (gaudy half stock). On the next page is a nicely done flintlock gun by J.N. Small.

Ohio guns are much more well known.
 
The few Indiana guns I've seen appear to be Ohio patterns that snuck over the border. That's the extent of my knowledge of guns from my adopted home state.
