Lancaster Style Rifle

  44" barrel in .50 caliber

 

 

This is a very nicely assembled Chamber's Lancaster kit rifle. I don't know who made it but they did a very nice job. Nothing flashy, just a very typical late 18th century longrifle.

 

It is stocked in a moderately curly maple stained to a medium brown and finished with a hand-rubbed oil finish. The lock is a Chamber's Golden Age Germanic flintlock. The barrel is swamped 44" long, 1¹⁄₁₆" at the breech in .50 caliber. There is a touch hole liner. The bore is excellent. The brass parts have been polished to a nice satin and have some natural patina now. The steel parts are lightly browned. The inlets are very tight and styling is very clean. Overall a very nice, well made rifle.

 

Weight is 9 lbs.   Pull is 14".
