Friends, I am set to receive my Tennessee Valley Muzzleloading flintlock rifle next week, my first ever custom made gun.
In the photos they sent me, my gun has a full buckhorn rear sight, which seemed curious and too “modern” to me. Here’s a picture they sent:
When exactly we’re full buckhorn rear sights invented, and were they ever even used on traditional American flintlock long rifles?
Thanks for the help. If they’re not authentic, I’m going to have to replace it with something else. Thanks all.
