pair of early Lancasters

Beautiful guns. Thanks for sharing.

Both look great but I also favor the bottom one. Do you know what finish was used on it?

No, I do not. I suspect it was one of the Chambers stains/finishes. It is very red in person.

Mike - I bet you get some stares when you show up at Ft Jean Bapiste with a Lancaster rifle :v :grin:

Very nice!

I have one of L.C. Rice's 44" swamped .54 barrels on my flintlock. Just tall enough that I can set the buttplate on my foot and see through my damn bifocals to load her

Slobber...Slobber!!! Neeeice! I`ve heard that due to the wide Butt plate on the Lancaster they are easy on the shoulder, recoil wise.

Not too many years ago a few folks did, but then they went to strict historic interpretation of the French period. We lost alot of the ALRA folks then. I carry a Tulle fusil at the post.

Speaking of Tulle fusil de chasse. I got to shoot one here in TX a couple days ago - remembered why I liked them so darned much. A pity I can't own any for my impression - they are very sweet. :thumbsup:
