What Style?

[Urban Coyote]

.36 Custom petite rifle, probably weighs under 6 lb, with no maker's name however my question is what style would you call this shooter? Dimick maybe?

I would call it Sweet thing!
style? Hawken ish.
but the trigger guard is Dimick ish.

Some would call it an Ohio rifle. Truth is original rifles like that were being made anywhere rifles were being made from the 1840's through the 1850's.

13/16" across flats, 26.5" barrel and 12.5" LOP to front of trigger. Trigger is a single set type. Bore is smooth as glass.

Your rifle is a really good representation of what I like, very nice.

I figure I lucked into this one. Found it a few years back on line at a local, well kind of, gunshop. I called, cut the deal and then drove about 35 miles one way in late afternoon traffic in a downpour. In that sense maybe I earned it.

I’m getting ready to build one that will be very similar. I found a 3/4” atf Rayl barrel in 32 cal. I ordered a Vincent style half stock from Pecatonica at the beginning of the week. All the rest of the parts are from Track of the Wolf and will be here on Monday. I would absolutely agree it’s an Ohio style rifle.

Yes, I'd have said "Ohio style".

I think I'm getting it to shoot at 25 yards. I need to file the front sight down a bit.
