Like the curious fellow I am, I was cruising the internet and found these two rifles for sale very, very close to me and purchased both of them tonight.
The top one simply has "Plainsman Rifle" and "Muzzleloading Armoury" Spain on it.
I have done a bit of research, but I am looking for your thoughts on it.
The one below it only says "Spain", and is a flintlock.
I do not want to pull the barrel at this time, but will if nobody recognizes it.
Anyone recognize either of them, or hopefully both?
The Kentucky style one needs a butt plate, so that is my priority to identify it and purchase a butt plate..... not into making one, but if need be, I may try.
Never shot (my bore light confirms this) and were wall hangers all these years.
Any input?.... price was far beyond outstanding, so I could not pass them up!
Plus, I finally own a flintlock!
Thanks in advance,
Dave
