Bore measures 8.5mm (.315") | Antique 19th-century American percussion Kentucky/Pennsylvania-style long rifle featuring an exceptionally long 48” heavy octagonal barrel and traditional full-length wood stock.

The exceptionally long octagonal barrel and slender full-stock architecture are characteristic of the traditional American long rifle. Percussion system may represent an early-period conversion from flintlock, although the present configuration does not provide enough visible evidence to conclusively establish conversion.

Stock remains reasonably solid. Includes full-length ramrod. Overall suitable as a wall hanger. Does not currently mechanically function.
