Title: Antique Longrifles
Post by: Avlrc on May 07, 2012, 03:49:50 PM

I just discovered a site that has some nice looking Antique Southern Longrifles.  You might want to check it out.

Wayne has a nice site Mark, but he doesn't update it very often.  Some of the items are new since the last time I looked at it though.  There is a good study/learning piece on there now.  The J Sheetz rifle has a major flaw, can anybody else spot the problem?

I just rechecked the site and saw that Wayne did give full disclosure about the problem, good for him, although it is pretty obvious.

I like that last N.C. rifle.  Has a very sleek Lehigh-ish look to it.  I wonder if that is because the style was brought down with some traveling gunsmith???
