Frontier Deluxe Longrifle,
.45 caliber, 39" barrel,
flintlock, curly maple, brass trim with patchbox,
used, by Davide Pedersoli
The .45 caliber barrel is rifled for a tightly patched round ball. The barrel is finished a dark chocolate brown. The breech end of the barrel is marked with various Pedersoli markings including the caliber, and associated Italian proof marks. The buckhorn rear sight is positioned 11" ahead of the breech, in the location much preferred by older shooters with corrective lenses. The factory steel blade front sight is dovetailed 2" behind the muzzle.
This long rifle's best feature is the attractive curly maple stock with scattered handling marks. The stock does have one small cosmetic chip on the front edge of the lock mortise. The factory installed patchbox has a cam over center spring to hold it securely open or closed. Beneath the door is a shallow cut cavity for storing flints, jags, or other small accessories. A molding along the forend ends with a relief at the muzzle, to allow your fingers to easily grip and remove the rod. This deluxe version includes a brass muzzle cap, to protect the end grain of the stock. No entry pipe is fitted, and no pins or lugs are needed, since rod pipe mounting screws also attach the forend to the barrel. The 9mm diameter ramrod is fitted with a brass tip with 10-32 threads for loading and cleaning accessories.
The polished brass triggerguard is surface mounted with a blued steel screw at rear, and a retaining pin at front. The triggerguard has a medium large bow, to accept the double set triggers. The toe is protected with a long brass toeplate. Our back view shows the classic Kentucky rifle style cheek piece, and side panel. A long flush mounted brass sideplate is fitted with two blued steel lock bolts and a third screw to secure the tail.
The large rifle size flint lock is color case hardened in mottled colors. The lock sparks well, and the frizzen face shows some marks from use. Double lever double set triggers are correctly tuned to fire set or unset. You may cock the lock, or set the triggers, in any sequence. Thus, this rifle will serve you well when hunting small game during cold weather. A tiny adjustment screw, between the two triggers, controls trigger release in the set position.
