English Flintlock Sporting Gun
« on: December 11, 2019, 04:34:24 AM »
Has the muzzle loading rifle is more favoured in the states here in the UK the shotgun is more favoured  mostly because  the rifle can only be used on military approved ranges  . I have enclosed a couple of images that may interest members of typical single and double flintlock mostly English  sporting guns

Quite the collection. Would it be possible to get some close-ups of the bottom one? I don't think I've ever seen anything remotely like it.

Hank, I was thinking that very same thing.  :bl th up

Feltwad, always good to hear from you. I take it these are all refurbished by you. In past post of yours, it's always nice to see how you bring these pieces of history around for enjoyment and usage once again. Nice collection, and great work you do!  :shake
