Takes a lot to make my jaw drop. All I can say is it's just possibly one of the nicest Tennessee rifles I've seen in a very long time. Thanks for sharing it with us.

That is a beautiful rifle, and I enjoyed seeing the originals, also. Would it be historically accurate to have that same rifle in flintlock? When did that area switch to percussion, I thought I read that flintlocks persisted longer in those rural areas of Tennessee than in most places.

Yes sir there were a lot of flintlocks in this region of the mountains. !
