Full Stock Flintlock Rifle 48”

Offered for sale is a classic full stock flintlock rifle in the traditional early American long rifle style, featuring a long 48” octagonal barrel and a full length walnut stock extending all the way to the muzzle. This configuration reflects the iconic “Kentucky” or “Pennsylvania” rifle pattern that became synonymous with early American frontier craftsmanship.

This rifle is fitted with a flintlock ignition system and retains the elegant, slender profile typical of long rifles of this style. The extended barrel provides a long sight radius, enhancing both historical authenticity and functional appeal for black powder enthusiasts.

Brass furniture includes the patchbox, trigger guard, and buttplate, all consistent with traditional period styling. The rifle displays an attractive aged patina throughout the metal components, complementing the rich tones of the wood stock.

The stock shows honest wear and character from handling, along with a visible crack at the wrist that should be noted. Despite this, the rifle maintains strong overall visual appeal and would display well in a collection or serve as a candidate for careful restoration.

Based on construction and overall characteristics, this appears to be a later production rifle built in the traditional style, likely dating to the mid to late 20th century black powder revival period rather than an original 18th century example.

This is an attractive representation of the classic American long rifle, offering strong presence, historical styling, and collector appeal at an accessible price point.
