Myron Morgan rifle with WM Large Barrel
« on: November 16, 2025, 03:08:31 AM »
Hi everyone,

New around here and trying to do some research on a flintlock rifle I am in possession of.

It is stamped with, "MAKER MYRON I MORGAN PORTSMOUTH NH" and is also stamped with, "W.M. LARGE".

From my research, Myron Morgan was a 2x NH state muzzleloader champion who passed in his 90s, back in 2005.

Any information on this rifle would be appreciated and I'll continue to update as I learn more about it.

I don't know the maker, but Bill Large was one of the main barrel makers in the era, and very well regarded.

Looks like it has an L&R Durs Egg lock.
