This Longrifle was made by Master Gunsmith of Williamsburg , Wallace B. Gusler 1964-1965. It was purchased from Donald DeHart of Glenvar Hollow near Dixie Caverns., Mr. DeHart was nicknamed “Duck” by Wallace and went by that name most of his life. The rifle was purchased from Duck DeHart by KRA Member Steve Boyleston in Roanoke from Duck. Duck , Wallace and Gary Brumfield all lived a stones throw away from each other growing up. There is much to learn on
www.flintriflesmith.com Gary’s website. When Wallace became the Master Gunsmith, in his spare time he crafted this rifle for his friend Duck. It is all hand forged of Iron., the wood was foam Tree that Gary and Wallace cut themselves, most all of the early shop rifles were made from this tree. The entire gun was handmade without one modern tool being used., the barrel was a blank that Wallace rifled. Very few makers even as of now build without using modern tools, Mr. Gusler does not own one., no power required. The "Duck" DeHart Rifle is a masterpiece for any time period. Mr. DeHart and Gary Brumfied are gone but never will they be forgotten ..
