Brian Anderson Rifle and Axe

Here are some pictures of a rifle I built for fun some years ago; the lock is Bannerman salvage I picked up at Friendship. Left handed, tower marked, GR under a crown, and ordnance proofed. The barrel is round and .58 caliber rifled (39"). The stock is plain maple and brass mounted. I made the buttplate, sideplate and trigger. I thought what the world needed at the time was a left handed, tower marked, rifled, american colonial musket.

  1. Very nicely done simple rifle. Looks like it would be a joy to carry and shot. Any chance you would share the caliber and barrel length?
