Product Description

The sweeping, graceful lines of this classic, historic rifle make it one of the most recognizable arms in American history. Known as the "Pennsylvania", "Kentucky", or "Stump" rifle, this muzzlelaoader orginiated about 1720. It was modified from the short German 'Jaeger' hunting rifle into a longer, slimmer, lightweight gun that used a reduced powder charged and smaller caliber projectile. When teh percussion lock was developed in the early part of the 19th Century, most of the flint Kentucky's were converted to this new system. Their popularity continued will into the cartridge era. This Kentucky Rifle has a highly polished one-piece walnut stock with an oil finish. It is furnished with a brass buttplate, triggerguard large patchbox, side plate, thimbles and nosecap. The lock plate is case hardened. This model has a 35" octagonal blued barrel, brass blade front sight, and a steel open rear sight.
