This is a nicely made Plains rifle by Tom Trimmer of Mineral, Va. This gun was made many years ago as Tom has been dead a few years now. He wasn't a gunsmith but built good solid rifles that had a nice patina built in and he used them for matches and hunting.

It is stocked in a moderately curly maple stained to a medium brown and finished with a hand-rubbed oil finish. When I originally received this rifle, the finish was almost black and very uneven so I stripped the wood, restained and finished it to give it a better look. The lock is an L&R  flintlock and sparks very well. The barrel is a Green Mountain. It is a straight 36" long, 15/16" across the flats in .50 caliber. There is a touch hole liner. The bore is very good. The gun is mounted in steel and the parts are lightly browned. The inlets have little gaps here and there but nothing worth noting as everything has a good solid fit. Overall a very nice rifle.

Weight is 8 lbs. 6 oz.   Pull is 13¾".
