Transitional Kentucky Rifle in Auction?

[UncleBob]

 Hope it's ok to post this link, but I was intrigued by the origins of this gun; only the one photo, I'm afraid. Any ideas??

Interesting gun; wish there were more pictures and details. Lock looks to be 1800 or later to me but that’s mostly a feeling.

I would concur with Rich. It is missing a big chunk of wood between the lock and breech

Made in England...1780-90. Relocked some time after 1810-ish. Has nothing to do with colonial America.

I would agree with Mike.

The buttstock with the handrail going deep into the butt and the very pronounced and thin looking comb is very British. It sure as $#*! is not a Kentucky.

 Some more photos of this rifle. To me it looks like a 1730-50 English Fowler, with a replacement lock and a re-barrel to a rifle. Any thoughts?

Some of the parts resemble ca. 1790s Ketland export fowler bits to me. YMMV.

I think it was a fairly good rifle c.1760-1780 that has had both the lock and the sideplate replaced — neither of which fit anywhere near well enough to be original English work. the Ashmore lock is a Birmingham product from the early 19th century.

Looks like one George Killen cobbled together before ANY interest in muzzleloaders surfaced.He passed in January of 1977 at age 89.

    Ok Guys, thanks for all your input, I wasn't sure exactly what it was and thought it might have been something interesting, but It doesn't seem to be!  It didn't sell at the Auction and is now for sale by the Auction house.
