Longrifle article in "Garden and Gun" Magazine

[Larry Luck]

My wife ordered a subscription as an alternative to Southern Living, and it has several gun-related articles each issue in addition to articles featuring Southern food, furniture, and other topics.

The February/March issue has an article that describes and provides some decent photos of the buttstocks of several original flint rifles and a full-page of a pair of flint pistols in the collection of Michael Tuccori.  The article touches on aspects of the differences between rifles and other arms and features a narrative about a 1794 Henry Spitzer rifle that appears in the photography.

I do not know if Mr. Tuccori is a member or visitor here, but he has done our community a service by providing his collection for publication in this article.

thanks for the heads up Larry,

I got a few issues when "Garden and Guns" first came out but it seemed significantly more garden on average.    I was hoping something along the lines of an American version of UK's "The Field" 

I'll have to run out and get this one.

As a Southerner, I have subscribed to "Garden and Gun" for some time.  The mere title of the magazine appeals to me.
When I saw the article about Kentucky rifles and Mike Tuccori's collection in the current issue, I was very pleased.
Mike is a first-rate collector and an excellent "face" for Kentucky rifle collectors. Thank you, Mike, and thank you,
Garden and Gun for an excellent piece.  The more we make the general public aware of the importance of the Kentucky
rifle to American history, the more we all benefit.
