Finding reference pieces
« on: January 04, 2020, 08:13:03 AM »
Does anyone know of a museum in PA with original Lehighs or Bucks County rifles available to look at?  I’ve had the opportunity to handle one original Lehigh and several of the best examples by modern makers but I’m a little more familiar with them and would like to see some of the finer details this time around. 

I have KRA disks for both, the  RCA volumes, the Fowler’s book and Rifles of Note.  I’m looking for advice on seeing original rifles.

Thanks,

Mike

The PA State museum in Harrisburg used to have a nice display of longrifles but not sure if any were lehighs but it may be worth checking if you are planning a trip to the keystone state.  Also agree that Dixons gun shop has some nice originals hanging around the shop.
