Contemporary gun maker Brian C. LeMaster has signed this highly decorated Jaeger flint rifle. Well made and neatly finished, we compliment Mr. LeMaster on his workmanship. If your budget allows you to own and shoot a flint rifle in this price range, you will be pleased when this one arrives.
Inspired by the Germanic rifles of the 18th century. This Jaeger rifle, which literally translates to “hunter," is as fine a specimen of this style that you are likely to find. Built around a 36" swamped barrel, the .56 caliber bore has been cut rifled with radius groove rifling by Getz Barrel Company. This rifle is stocked in highly figured curly maple with narrow bands of figure over the full length of the stock. The stock is decorated with both raised carving and sterling silver inlays. The custom made flintlock and brass furniture are hand engraved with a traditional hunting theme.
The 36" length .54 caliber cut rifled barrel is light weight, with excellent balance, due to the swamped octagon profile. The thick breech makes the barrel very strong, the narrow waist reduces the weight, and the muzzle flares slightly to align the sights. The seven groove barrel measures .560" land to groove with a slow twist for a tightly patched round ball. The muzzle is engraved I BE BENJAMIN around the bore.
