Hello all, friend has one of Mr Meadows beautiful flintlock rifles. He was gracious enough to allow me to get these pics and some info.
I have seen some fine artwork rifles ,but this one blows me away. Gun was built in 65-66. Owner bought it in 1969 from Ed Gardner .
Wish I could have met him,but am thankful for those I have benefitted from their knowledge.
Enjoy !! Best regards, Dave F 8) 8)
Gonna retake the full length ones and get specs. 8)

Got to see this rifle in person today. A whole lot of character in this piece. I was blown away by the engraving on the patch box, not to mention the 5 o’clock shadow beard on the man in the moon! Would have liked to been able to meet the maker.
