    Hello everyone! I received this rifle recently, and was hoping to get some information on it. I've tried looking online for any information but, I can't seem to find anything.

    Hey everybody I have been eyeing an old flintlock at an antique store, I'm kind of in love with it. Unfortunately I have not been able to find anything resembling it on the web.
