Title: New to me.
Post by: killer on February 07, 2021, 06:55:20 PM

Picked up a new to me flintlock. GR Douglas barrel 45 cal. Davis lock and trigger. Slender and light. Can't wait to get to the range. Not sure what school this is supposed to represent? Unsure of the trigger guard. But either way its beautiful to me.

It is a beautiful rifle. Glad I didn't have to inlay that toe plate. I don't believe I've ever seen a trigger guard like that.

Hank, I think that’s a Dimick guard or very similar
