Walter Cline parts gun
« on: February 19, 2025, 09:05:18 PM »
In his book Mr. Cline mentions a flintlock he built from salvaged parts. Anyone know if it survived or any photos exist?

Could the flintlock be the third one down shown on Plate 48?
He says the stock had a silver box and mentions casting a nose cap and soldering pipes on the rib.
Mentions this on pages 96 and 97 in my book. Looks like my book is the third printing.

You have probably seen this already, but this is a display of some of some of his guns and other artifacts.  Could it be one of these? 

At second glance, the only flintlock in the group is the Phisaelus Bell rifle
