Very popular rifle of the time period...and very different than modern so called replicas.

.45 caliber Flintlock American Long Rifle.
Made by Loren "Doc" Brown in 1973.
Given to me , by him a few years ago.

Kibber lock*...hand carved curly maple stock with engraving ...brass and silver inlays also engraved.
While not a true replica of any historic rifle...this rifle looks right at home in the 1800 - 1830s era.

Excellent looking and excellent shooting rifle for sure.
Andy
* Kibber...1960's / 70's era lock...not a current Kibler lock.....

Absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you
I was both humbled and honored that Doc gave me his personal rifle as a gift for Veteran's Day.
Doc himself was a WWII Veteran.

It's probably better that way.

The sad thing is that, I haven't shot any of the ones in that pic. I am keeping one that I shoot but, it isn't in photo.
