Thread: Custom Flintlock Longrifle

Gents suspect the rifle was made in the late 1960's, was recently given to me by an old mate who is now to old to shoot. It seems to be an early style of rifle, with straight 40 inch .36 Douglas Barrel, and a Russ Hamm lock. The rifle is a real tack driver, shot it last weekend. Is muzzle heavy compared to my swamp barrelled .40 Lancaster County rifle. The lock is not very reliable, so will purchase a RPL Lock from Track of the Wolf, as they make a high quality replacement for these early commercial locks. This rifle is very similar in style to my lancaster, but am not sure if it is just a generic example of a long rifle. There were no kits available in the early 1960's so someone has done a ver nice job.
