Greetings to you. I am from southern Iran. From Arabistan, we had a serious weapon 200 years ago. The cylinder is 130 cm long and has eight ribs. This type is called al-Franji. It was one of the best guns of its time. My grandfather used to hunt with her and shoot ducks from 150m or more away. I still keep it to this day

Greetings from America. My family has been here for nearly 400 years and we lived a frontier lifestyle until we settled down to farm on the North bank of the Ohio in 1806. My grandpa(94) and his brother(98) still have our family rifles in their collections. It's always nice to learn of someone living elsewhere with the same kind of spirit that appreciates and reveres their family's history and past.

I have my grandfather's great-grandfather's rifle, just like yours, except it has been converted, at some time, to percussion. A gunsmith in Memphis looked it over years ago and said it was probably made in Pennsylvania. My rifle is more plain than yours. The triggers and all still work, however, I'm reluctant to actually fire it. My rifle is a 40 caliber also, however, the barrel doesn't taper in the middle and the point of balance is ahead of the sights. We really don't know the history of the rifle prior to my 3rd great grandfather. My Dad's people came into Tennessee from Virginia right after the Revolution, so it's possible the rifle is at least that old. I'm surprised the family was able to hang onto it, considering everything. My father was born in 1903 and he told me that he remembers the rifle hanging on his grandfather's wall.

A good lock, proper cleaning and maintenance, good flints, and working up a load the rifle shoots well. Having a friend or mentor to help you through the learning curve. This is what it takes to getting that level of performance with flintlocks. I hope my videos and website articles can pass that knowledge to others.

Beautiful rifle. Would be fun to spend time with and shoot. I had no idea there was a compartment in the buttstock! I knew there was a hinge but thought it was just a popular decoration from the times. I have been fascinated with this type of rifle ever since I was a kid (57 now) after reading "Little House in The Big Woods". I tried to talk my dad into letting me buy a kit for a muzzle loading revolver from the Sear's catalog but no dice! Got a Red Ryder instead...oh well.

From our music history education, we know that art and music followed the same trends. In regards to carvings on furniture and firearms, it is a departure from symmetry to asymmetry. A Dickert rifle will have symmetrical designs while the Issac Hanes work will be asymmetrical. During the golden age of flintlock rifles elaborate decorations sold rifles when the demand for new rifles was at an all time low and the number of rifle builders was at an all time high. No wars to fight suppressed the demand for rifles. Those gun builders needed to make a living.

That is a fine rifle and good job on the video. I've been thinking about a .40 cal. flintlock. Got a .50 (1980's) and recent .32 both hawken style. And three ball and cap revolvers (real fun!). I've used a homemade starter with a typical round wood head like yours for years, but a few months ago after a day of shooting I had a sore and bruised palm from pounding it. So I made a starter with a flat surface and nailed leather over padding on it. No more sore hand. So, just an idea if you need it someday...

PS: In the over-regulated and heavily controlled Germany, powder horns are no longer allowed and only decoration, filling powder on the shooting range is also forbidden here, and wearing safety goggles with side eye protection is also mandatory here - certainly It's just a question of Time how long they allow us to shoot at all. Actually almost superfluous to mention that hunting with muzzleloaders is unthinkable in Germany. I hope you can keep your freedom for a long time.

Now they're trying to disarm us completely. And because we love our freedom they now call us bad old white men to defame us.

Thank you, Sir. I truly enjoyed your presentation, and sharing your experience and knowledge. Your rifle is astonishingly beautiful, an amazing display of crafts. I line in Bedfordshire, U.K. Here we do not have the opportunity to share your pleasure. This is greatly appreciated and will endure in my memory. Best wishes.

Thank you. It was built to shoot, it would be a shame not use it. I do handle it carefully, it would be a shame to ding it.

Beautiful rifle. Have to ask as you mentioned it was built with top end and handcrafted. How old is it and how much did it cost at time of purchase.
@traditionalmuzzleloader4983 2 жыл бұрын
$1200. in parts alone. I have had that rifle for just over four years. I was on his waiting list for five years. I can't post the final cost, because so much of that depends on how much carving and engraving is done. The art work alone takes many more hours of work than it does to build a plain rifle. To buy one like that, you would be looking at 5 grand and up. Depending on grade of wood and amount of art work you wanted. It's quite the investment, so decide exactly what you want before you commission a high end rifle builder. BTW - I don't think Chuck is accepting orders at this time. He is trying to finish those he has now. There are other builders, and some who can start sooner. I was willing to wait for Chuck because he is a friend and I really wanted one of his rifles. So happy I did.

You are a good shot, Sir! I could not hit a thing with my flintlock, for flinching when powder ignites to my face
@traditionalmuzzleloader4983 10 ай бұрын
Thank you. It took a while and much practice before I got over the flintlock flinch. Now I shoot them as well as I do my percussion guns.

I love the shape of the Kentucky rifle, it's very thin and you can easily tell the difference between thid and other muskets of the time. I'd honestly rather have this than any "tactical" guns that're so popular these days

So what is a Hawken rifle? How some modern copies of Hawken rifles aren't really Hawken guns at all.
