Beautiful rifle, especially the tiger maple!! I've always been fascinated by the various patterning of this wood in Kentucky rifles. Used to get Flayderman's catalogs with examples in color on the cover. Amazing piece. I can see why it was one of the factors that turned the tide of the Rev War vs the ole' Brown Bess. The frontiersman's accuracy with these were spot-on for the period. Thanks for posting it!
