Best I could do.

Here's another.
It looks like a nice rifle!

Wonder what they did to the buttstock to attach it to the base?

Its amazing what people once did to "old" rifles. I once bought a really nice 1819 Halls flint rifle that been made into a floor lamp. After removing all the $#@* and filling buttstock wiring hole it was a good shooter.

Probably a giant lag bolt up the butt!

I imagine they pulled out the breechplug, and have the wire running up that way

I've seen a few other Lamp Post lights in years past but they were all CW muskets. Here is one that is a table lamp that is made out of what was once  a great Frederick Sell kentucky. The flying dragon patchbox, trigger guard,  and possibly the butplate are the only original parts and are mounted on a 1850s vintage stock with percussion lock. A tragic end of what was a beautiful rifle. The parts could be completely rebuilt as a copy of a Sell rifle but you would still have a new made rifle so better to enjoy it as a relic. Looks great in the man cave

That is neat. I have seen several early 20th-century military rifles as lamps, but not many long rifle lamps.

What did the longrifle lamp sell for Mark?

This unknown buttstock was also made into a lamp, and the butt was all that was left of it.

Who the heck was making all these lamps?
