Back in Feb, I finally got my place in the queue for a custom long rifle.
I ordered from Allen Martin...found here- http://www.allenmartinrifles.net/
If you go to his gallery of guns tab, then check out the Colonial SE PA, the Schreit, and the Ghost rifles. Those are most similar to what I am getting.
I ordered it in 62-cal with fine curly maple, no carvings, and a sliding wooden patchbox. Oh, and a glorious 46" barrel!
3 years wait, lots of money to save till then, too, but boy, oh, boy will it be a beaut when it's done!
I may change it to 58-caliber, I haven't decided yet. Been back and forth, and he won't order the barrel for quite some time yet. When I ordered, I was #42 on the list!
Martin's guns are truly amazing firearms....I can't wait to see my rifle come to life!
I figured I'd post this because our latest troll claims no one here can hunt well enough to hunt with a muzzleloader. Well, Harvey, I know you'll tell me 100 reasons why my custom longrifle is silly or bad or some other crap you will come up with....but buddy, this is what muzzleloader hunters used in the colonial, revolutionary, and Federalist periods. This is how they hunted....with a long barrel and a flint in their lock, not a hammer.
