anybody familiar with this builder?

i have a 54 cal flintlock, i think built by AW Lenhart, very nice gun- am trying to find out what (whose?) barrels he used. its a really nice 42 inch long barrel, i think 1/60 or maybe 1/62 twist measured by me- could possibly even be longer twist-i already took it apart and see no further marks on the barrel besides the number 334 next to the reach on l side-- i suppose that is the number of guns he built up to that time- if so must have been quite busy.

He was supposedly is a custom builder from Springfield Oregon in the early 70's here is another one of his rifles... L.Poole & A.W.Lenhart

I can't believe with all that nice work, and that nice piece of wood,,,,, he screwed the trigger guard to the stock.

The trigger guard looks boogered, compared to the rest of the rifle...

thanks ..still wondering about the barrel on my gun

Have you pulled the barrel? May well be marks on the bottom flat.

 

[Franklin1840]

yes, nothing on bottom flat, as i said top flat has AWLenhart in script and 334 next to breach on left sided flat- no other markings anywhere on barrel- any way thanks for your comments

Looks like a replacement to me. Doesn't match the rest of the metalwork.
