This attractive South Mountain flint longrifle is trimmed in iron, and stocked in curly maple. Often referred to as a Tennessee style, this Southern rifle is fitted with a correct English Durs Egg flint lock, by L&R. Original Tennessee flint rifles were often equipped with imported English locks. This fine rifle was assembled by John F. Bergmann, and was sold on our website. Fine locks, set triggers, and good wood are standard features of the so-called Tennessee rifles, even though the furniture may be forged iron, or abbreviated in "poor boy" fashion by omitting the buttplate and entry pipe.
