These are my 2 Dixie GunWorks Tennessee Mountain Rifles. They have been rebarreled.

The upper gun has been rebarreled from .32 calibre to .45 calibre, 36” Corlerain barrel.

The lower gun has been rebarreled from .50 calibre to .54 calibre, 36” Corlerain barrel

Nicely done!

You simply cannot locate a flintlock anywhere for $300 these day's. SNIP

Well, you can...but you may wind up putting several hours into cleaning it up/tuning it.

A hunting partner of one of my friend's fathers just hit 82 the other day and he is looking to sell some of his firearms that he cant handle anymore. The only flintlock he has left is a Dixie Gun Works Tennessee Mountain Rifle. It is .50 caliber, Flintlock and in good condition with no rust anywhere or dings/cracks in the wood. In May I had bought an old Ozark Mountain Arms Hawken kit someone had put together poorly years ago. The rifle is flintlock and .50 caliber I got it at a Pawn shop for $125. That being said the old gent liked how light weight it was and said he would go over the rifle and fix the inletting and clean it up and restain to teach his grandson. In return he would trade me his DGW rifle and I would pay him another $150 cash. So I would be in about $275~$300 for the rifle. Is this DGW rifle worth the trade or is it another 1970/1980s commerical flop rifle ? Thanks to everyone in advance.

Get it ! I doubt you'll not like it . Some folks think they are too muzzle heavy but I think that's what helps make the " tack driver " come out of it . Little polishing of parts and I bet you'll really like it .

If you need a price point on DGW TN Mtn rifles hows this? Our next to last one brought over $800 recently. It was an early used percussion .50! Tough to find ANY decent FL long rifle under 1K nowadays. Inflation has taken care of that and march's on. For example heres a flinter for sale now. not ours:
