The flint lock is obvious.
Any more known details?
Looks like a great place to start.  Nice piece of wood.

Thank you sir !!   Tip told me it was nice wood, so I took his word for it, and plenty happy I did.
Sure wish he knew how to use a computer a little better .

Beautiful rifle ! I recently met Tip and picked up a rifle at his shop, what a nice guy, i'd trust his judgment and order over the phone from him any day.

That certainly is a beautiful rifle from Tip.

Thanks Poet, very happy to see that ya'll like it as well. You see lots of flinters with the stripes from head to toe, but this one's kinda cool cause it's got stripes in the forend, and burl in the butt.
