Does Jack put any identifying marks on his rifles?
I bought a pre-owned .36 caliber flintlock that was sold as one he made. It has a 42 inch barrel that is 13/16 inches across the flats. The lock is identical to the small Siler. It is full stocked without a nose cap, tailpipe, patch box or butt plate. There is a toe plate and at the heel, there is a piece of black inlet material (wood or horn?). The stock has an area removed near the muzzle so that the ramrod can be removed more easily. The rifle stands about 58 inches tall. The cheek piece has two inlays, a crescent moon and a hunter's star. The barrel is pinned. There are double set triggers, the trigger guard looks like Garner's Bean guard. All the furniture except the front sight (brass and German silver) and the side plate (brass or German silver) are steel.
Thanks for any information you can give me.
