When I first saw the original rifle from which this rifle was copied, I was struck by the grace and almost daintiness of the gun. I have always referenced it as the ”Petite Bucks Co. rifle.” The original was unsigned, but showed a lot of John Shuler influence. However, this rifle was different in that the tang carving and some elements of behind the cheek piece carving are raised. The tang carving shows a lot of Lehigh Co. influence. Whoever the original maker was he was true artisan, I hope my copy does it justice. This rifle has a B weight 50 cal. 42” Colerain barrel, w/ a White lightening vent liner. A Golden age Siler lock provides the spark and is activated by a Bucks co,. reverse curl single trigger. The side opening patchbox is opened by a release concealed under the toe plate. This is an extraordinary Bucks Co. rifle.
