Many schools of style exist for Maryland longrifles. The Emmitsburg school turned out many fine rifles thanks to the skills of makers such as John Armstrong, Peter White, and George Nunemaker. This classic fullstock flint rifle is made in the style of the Maryland gunmaker, John Armstrong the master gunsmith of the Emmitsburg school. Stocked in fancy maple, and finished in traditional brass. This beautiful Maryland style longrifle was hand made by J. Eddie Brown, a skilled gun maker, who has replicated a number of original schools of style. This rifle features a fancy maple stock, a Jim Chambers deluxe Siler flintlock, R.E. Davis double set triggers, and brass furniture with silver accents. The hand made patchbox is replica of a John Armstrong patchbox shown in Gunsmiths of Maryland by Daniel D. Hartzler & James B. Whisker. Cut your own patchbox from one of our patch box kits, or choose one of our pre-shaped patchboxes. The stock is stained with aquafortis to a dark brown, and hand rubbed to best reveal the curly maple's tiger stripe figure. Decorated with raised and incised carving, and hand engraved brass hardware.
