Welcome to my longrifle page.
I am a gunmaker of flintlock rifles and pistols. Here you will see some of my work and a little of what goes into building a longrifle.
All work is done completely by hand.
Each rifle is built with the same craftsmanship and pride just as they were built in the early 1700s.
I like the southern style rifles, the Tennessee style and Pennsylvania style rifles as well. Most of my longrifles are built for people that do alot of hunting and target shooting.
However, I am always glad to discuss building fully decorated rifles also.
I built my first muzzleloading rifle at the age of 15 that was many years ago. I have been building flintlock rifles and doing repair work ever since.
Please let me know if there is a certain style of rifle you would like built, or if you have any questions. Please contact me. I will be more than happy to discuss your rifle building needs and thank you for your interest in my longrifles.
