Name That Rifle

[Fr Mulcahy]

A range friend asked me to identify a rifle that he inherited about 20 years ago. I have photos but I have not personally seen the rifle.

It looks like a Kentucky rifle with double triggers to me, and the real deal at that. Your input is appreciated.

so many makers out there , those are a field of collecting unto themselves , I've got a beautiful one made by a smith in Missouri years ago . Its so pretty I can't bear to shoot it.

Pop the stock off and see if the builder or manufacturer is engraved or stamped into the barrel.

without a makers mark and due to the poor inleting of the lock and trigger assy, and some of the squareness of the wood shaping. I would guess 50's-60's black powder kit well aged.

Might also be a conversion from an original flintlock with a store-bought percussion lock. Looks Ike the rest of the inletting is well done. All the kits I looked at in the 60's & 70's had makers marks and calibers stamped or engraved on the barrels. I was born too late to have much experience of 50's muzzle loader kits.
