It does lean towars the lehighs,,or maybe even reading,i suppose ,,anyone add something to this,iam looking to build a new rifle,and was thinking of the allentown/bucks countys as them and lehighs are a favroite of mind but this one caught my eye,,thanks,mickey

I think its basically a conglomeration of a few styles of guns ranging from the  mid  1700 to the early 1800's. more the producers idea of what hakeyes gunn shoud have looked like.but if you like it ,go for it.

    The gun was discussed at length in the last couple months, with lots of good information about it.  A search should turn up that thread.  The gun is not a copy of anything, but what the director of the movie thought it should look like.
