Identification request for PA longrifle
« on: September 05, 2024, 04:36:03 PM »












I just finished getting this rifle back in shooting condition. I think it started life as a Pennsylvania flintlock and was restocked in walnut. The craftsman who did the engraving and the person who did the stocking seem to have been on very different skill levels. Based on the patch box, side plate and trigger guard, can anyone offer an opinion on origin? This is a 36 cal 40” barrel. I just installed the lock which is a Davis squirrel lock. Despite outward appearance of barrel, it has a beautiful bore and shoots well.

Do you have an image of the lock that was in it before?
Thanks

I think it's just a crappy hardware store lock.  ;D
