    Best US Made Kentucky Rifle?

    I've been to Cabin Creek and saw several of Brad Emigs pieces and his sons. They are excellent makers and do everything by hand, carving and engraving is excellent.

    Fredericksburg/Rappahanock Forge Muskets

    Thank you for sharing the pictures. It looks like the hammer on the musket is a replacement. I base that guess on the color and the new looking hammer screw. The rest looks OK.

    Satx, I haven't seen any of the kits they offer for sale. I have only viewed pictures on their site. My interests are only in original pieces from the F&I and Rev war period and in original flint condition. They have some excellent pieces like 1st model Besses but they are up there in...

    Horn tools

    Robby, your horn work is beautiful. Someone in this string ( George ) asked if old horns were carved and the answer is yes, for centuries. The most beautiful American made horns come from the French & Indian War period and Revolutionary War but carving was done on American horns much earlier...

    Who made it/Southern type long rifle

    It is definitely not a Peter Brong or Berry rifle. The P. Bear might be a match though I never heard of him. It has the long tang that is attributed to Southern made rifles and the lock is an English import which may or may not have been a late converted flintlock??

    Powder horn with a staple

    I have been collecting powder horns for many years and have come across 18th century horns with staples on the butt end and the neck. Staples on the butt end are very common but not so common on the narrow neck part especially if the neck is recessed and has enough space to wrap a strap around...

    Possible African Trade Flintlock with Bayonet?

    I found that William Chance & Son manufactured guns in London from 1830 - 1860. They made quite a few of the Northwest trade guns for the American fur Co. from 1834 - 45. This piece may have been made for someone in India. I doubt an Englishman or British soldier would have requested a flint...

    Fredericksburg/Rappahanock Forge Muskets

    Can you repost the pictures of the Fredericksburg musket? I have heard that the few specimens that are in the museum were cut down to 37 and 39 inch barrels. I assume the original length would have been 42 inches. Thanks, Hornguy
