Flintlock Long Rifle in .45 caliber

This rifle features a semi fancy Maple stock stained a moderate reddish brown, Green Mountain straight octagon barrel,
tiny adjustable rear sight and a skeleton butt plate.

Ignition is provided by a large Siler lock, hand built from a kit and well tuned with a strong mainspring.
Barely visible in this photo is the Ampco stainless steel vent liner placed above the pan for best performance.
The furniture is a combination of brass, nickel silver and iron.

The bottom view shows the brass toe plate and nickel silver trigger guard which is held by 2 small screws.

The iron side plate is shown on the left side.
The cheek piece is a traditional shelf type with a blood wood inlay in the molding.
An interlocked series of small square patterns in wire inlay appear behind the cheek piece.

A hand made skeleton butt plate of brass is attached with 4 small screws. The piercing is checkered.
The patch box is a combination of nickel silver and brass, it is not engraved.
The lid is easily opened by slipping a finger nail under the end and lifting to reveal the cavity below.

The stock features a series of diamond shaped and thin rectangular inlays running
forward from the lock panels to the muzzle. These inlays are made of blood wood
from Cost Rica. The effect gives the rifle more of a Santa Fe feeling. This pattern was
inspired by the work of the noted artist and furniture maker Joseph Nikrasch Jr.
His work has been featured in several magazines and art galleries in southern Arizona.

The barrel and iron furniture have been finished a deep brown. The stock is finished
with low gloss oil based polyurethane. Overall length is 58 inches, barrel length is 42
inches, and length of pull is 14 inches. The rifle includes a synthetic ramrod.
Weight is 7 lbs making this rifle a pleasure to carry.  We have priced this nice piece at
