This is a very nice, well made Virginia style rifle by Chuck Hinkle. I'd keep it if I could afford it!

This rifle is lightly used and in very good condition. It is stocked in a nice piece of walnut. The patchbox has a silver engraved overlay which adds a nice touch. The raised carving is well done and the silver wire accents it nicely. The inlay on the cheek is a silver and brass sun/moon style which is Chuck's signature. The barrel is an oct-round 44" long Rice in .50 caliber. There is a touch hole liner. The bore is excellent. The nosecap is poured pewter and well done with the chevrons and exposed wood sections. The lock is a large Siler flint with a little reworking and engraving. The gun is mounted in iron with an applied patina to give an aged look. Inlets are tight and well done. Overall a very nice and well styled rifle.

Weight is 8 lbs. 7 oz.   Pull is 14".
