New Member from North Carolina

[ConnerSouth13]

Hey folks, new member from central North Carolina. Recently my grandfather discovered our family used to make rifles. I'm now learning about Guilford gunsmiths and the Jamestown school. We're descendants of the Lamb's and pretty much any antique long rifle marked Lamb was made by a family member.

Looking for any listings or leads on rifles someone might be willing to part with. Would love to get my grandfather a Christmas present.

Thanks in advance for any help/information!

Welcome, also from the Piedmont...I've seen plenty of Jamestown rifles in my past, don't buy originals so I haven't kept up with collectors...There is a book on North Carolina Longrifles, written by Bill Ivey, a local attorney (retired) here in Asheboro...You should get one of them for your Dad, it would make a great Christmas gift as well...

NC had a very high quality supply chain during the Civil War; lots of good uniforms, etc. The NC monument at Gettysburg is magnificent!
