"Help Wanted" In Search Of...
« on: February 13, 2016, 04:59:09 PM »
 I've got a bug in my bonnet and it is a side by side full stock Rifle (SXS). I have looked through some of my books and have so far only found Bedford type rifles and they are all Percussions. Some where I have seen Flint SXS but I cannot remember where, not unusual for me. I'm thinking one was of Bethlehem/Allentown school.
 Do any of you have Pix or know where I might find some examples?

 Thanks, Tim C.
