This link is to a Muzzle Blast article from 2000 on a late 18th-century rifle from Vermont. It looks like a typical New England fowler of the period, but it has a rifle barrel and patch box. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to whether there was a short lived tradition of making rifles like this in New England, or if maybe this was just an anomaly. Interesting rifle though :hmm: :
