Part Number: AAM-975
This classic, golden age, fullstock flint smoothbore is made in the Allentown - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania school of rifle makers. Stocked in curly maple, and trimmed in brass furniture; this rifle is produced in a similar fashion to those rifles done by John Rupp and John Moll. This smoothbore is signed by contemporary maker Wm. C. Loyd. The lock appears, unsparked, unmarked, but the barrel brown has some wear from handling.

The heart of this smoothbore is a 44" straight 13/16" octagon barrel with a .42 caliber smoothbore. The bore is mirror bright and appears to be in as-new condition. The barrel is finished to a smooth brown, but does have some wear from handling behind the rear sight.

This rifle weighs in at 8.4 pounds and has a 13-1/2" trigger reach, built with today's average size shooter in mind.
