Absolutely exquisite.
Although i prefer the flintlocks, that is a knock out drop dead gorgeous work of the American Gunsmith's Art. Were i a wealthy man i would bid on it.
Thanks Ethan. Very interesting to see a golden age long rifle that looks to have never been a flintlock. (I just realized your pointer was a tiny rifle, lol)
That is just plumb gorgeous...
Beautifly shot, beautifly presented. Thank .
Man that is a beautiful rifle. I love how skinny and light it looks. Seems like they would be fragile but I'm sure they're not. Who much money do you think a gun like that cost new in our money.
Very nice. Original Indy and Ohio rifles are very interesting. I love seeing these historic videos.
Great presentation on a beautiful rifle. Thanks Ethan.
That's a fine looking rifle. Thanks for showing it off.
Thank you for showing us this. Man alive I love it. If I had any talent, this is exactly what I would make. Thanks again...
Thank you Ethan. A very nice piece and well presented.
The Hawkins rifle with bigger calibers took over from the 32-45 caliber Eastern rifles. The change from hunting on foot to Hunting from horseback.

The hawken was popular out west where big game was still plentiful. After the big game in the East was hunted to small numbers the rifle calibers went smaller because small game hunting was what was going on. Through the majority of the eastern us.

@@jasonbarnes3188 Thanks Jason, as the frontier moved further west in the1850s the distance traveled grew. A long hunter was no longer i man and a pack horse going 50 to 60 miles to hunt, but groups of beaver trappers and skin hunters going hundreds of miles to trap and hunt larger game.
Well Ethan yet another beautiful rifle. It almost makes you wish you could speak to the original owner doesn't it
Wow. A very beautiful peice
Ethan I love your rock island armory videos! So so cool. Inspiration for gun collecting
That's awesome piece of wood nice rifle thank you
Thanks
The side plate (for the lock) is a style often used by the Albrights (Lancaster, Northampton, Pa.).
Thank you, as always, very good presentation.
Great video, amazing rifle. Thank you.
Gorgeous
Great video I appreciate the time and info you given was very well about that wonderful rifle thank you 👌👍
Great video. What is that mini rifle pointing tool you were using?
I bet you've never seen a H E Laman percussion cap, 30 cal, octagon barrel rifle
Could that have been an early goulcher lock? If I'm not mistaken the fish could have been a Christian motif and was common on rifles of a certain school. Can't remember which school but I remember seeing a similar rifle in LONG RIFLES OF NOTE. Thanks for the video.
That is an handful of rifle. Beautiful. Has the Floop approved? You need his approval.+
Nice piece of work 👌 👍🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸 the Vermonter

I love your channel but I believe that the fish symbol I s a religious symbol??
Nice job Ethan. I am interested in dimensions on rifles by J henry , flintlock of course if you have them, i would appreciate it.
Hi, I need some confirmation. The archtypical American Longrifle has that distinctive curve of its buttplate like the one in this video and some stocks are extremely slim or slender compared to their 17th or 18th century "granddads", the German forester's or "Jäger's" rifle. Being six foot four myself with hands "like a have always thought that for me such a gun would only be a showpiece that I could not shoot with my big hands and not without having a black and blue shoulder after some shots as the pointed ends of the buttplate would have been pressed deep into the flesg. Then someone in our blackpowder club told me that those rifles were not held against the shoulder joint but against the upper arm. That would even explain why many of them had stocks that "turned right" and did not have the buttplate and barrel in one straight line. May I ask what you may know about that issue?
Hold on is your pointer a small Muzzleloader😱 if so where did you get it
Much better lighting , but keep improving the product appearance please !!! Don't know why Rock Island insists on all of the dark fabrics etc ??? light bright is more appealing in video presentations !!!
The fish,probably a religious connotation...

ICTHUS = Fish in Ancient Greek. The "I"stood for " Iesus", CH ( one letter - chi in Greek) Stood for Christos, TH ( One letter in Greek - Theta) stood for Theou " OF GOD", U stood for Uios "Son", S stood for Soter "Saviour". In English, Jesus Christ, the Son of God Is (understood) the Savior. It's a Christian's rifle, not a Fisherman's Rifle.
