Contemporary Rifle for a guy in Germany
« on: February 05, 2019, 02:00:58 PM »
Just the other day I had a visit from another German collector who purchased an CW Enfield from me.
As we talked he mentioned that he is interested in a contemporary flintlock longrifle for shooting.
I am a collector of antique longrifles with no experience in the contemporary field.

He found a kit on "track of the wolf" he likes by Isaac Haynes (style).
He wants a rather short swamped barrel (fitting his size), cal.54 and prefers iron mountings, no set trigger.

Is there someone who would be willing to build such a rifle and to ship it to Germany?
And if so, for what price?

If there is a possibility, maybe I can arrange a contact.
Problem is, since my English is far from perfect, his is non-existent.... ;)

Thanks, Chris
Kind regards from Germany, Chris

Chris,
I thought you were an American.There is NOTHING wrong with your English whatsoever.
Going to my own experiences in the past,it should be no problem to send a "Vorderlader
Steinschloss" to Germany.Are you aware of Helmut Mohr or Guenter Stifter? Helmut may have
a rifle on the rack that will fit your friends needs.Guenter calls himself "The Flintknapper"
His telefon is 9645555 in Trimbs.Helmut's is 2651-2644 in Mayen/Hausen.

Thanks again.
