If “styles “ were so rigidly adhered to, why, to my knowledge at least, are there no two or more surviving examples of what we call “ Kentucky “ or “ Pennsylvania “ Rifles that are exactly alike?
Because they were not making bench copies or using CNC machines or duplicators
However, most colonial gunsmiths made rifles that, while not copies, were similar enough that learned people in the field can attribute unsigned rifles to them because they included the same elements over and over again.
