Discussion and slides of the re-creation process and finished muzzleloading flintlock rifle. This is a 50 cal. Flintlock rifle representative of the type build in Pennsylvania during the first quarter of the 18th Century. This type of rifle would have been at home on the frontier or in the Pennsylvania woods hunting deer and other game to feed the family. It is a rather plain rifle as some of the PA goes. I built this as a common man's hunting rifle to represent what someone like me could have afforded in 1820.

Barrel - 7/8" straight. 42" long 50 caliber Green Mountain
Stock - moderately curly maple
Trigger: Simple single trigger - breaks slightly under 3 pounds
Sights: traditional fixed iron.
