Heavy Flintlock Match rifle
28/02/12 03:56 AM

This rifle had a 1 1/4 x 44 x 50 caliber McLemore barrel.
Weighs about 18 pounds. Its a match winner in two outings before the stock was finished the longest 10 shot string was 10.3". Where I shoot with the usual wind strings under 12" are "good". With me and my son shooting it at the first match we attended the rifle one 7 of ten shots and the aggregate for me.
Its styled after a Dickert Kentucky. #48 in Rifle of Colonial America Vol. 1
There are 2 heavy FL rifles with carving, engraving etc in Kindigs book and there are others.
Rifles of this type were used in Germany probably before the FL era.

Not all heavy barreled ML target rifles were made in Applachia.

We use a HC plank rest and shoot a turkey target for closest to center.

Now I need to engrave it... and cut the patchbox release down some more.
