Gosh, Jim,
From a well known non-firearms man I would never have expected such a profound lot of facts on the Kentucky rifle legend Davy Crockett. Must be I forgot that a great arms historian can deliver inputs like this on any topic any time!
I have been trying to look at all flintlock Kentuckies I can find in U.S. sales for years - even to me they seem to have got that certain something: long and elegant, with octagonal barrels - somehow they almost remind me of those old German matchlock muskets!
Thanks for teaching me,
and best,
Michael
