Description
The Pedersoli™ Kentucky Rifle Kit is a .50 caliber flintlock reproduction of the Kentucky long rifle. The Kentucky Rifle evolved from German hunting rifles and was a major rival to the Brown Bess musket and was quite popular in early colonial America. The Pedersoli™ Kentucky Rifle Kit features a 48″ American Walnut one-piece stock, which is accented by beautiful brass furniture. The rifle sports a 13 1/2″ trigger pull with a 35 1/16″ steel octagonal barrel with a 1:48 twist.
This Kentucky Rifle Kit is an exact reproduction manufactured by Pedersoli™ in Italy. The .50 Caliber Kentucky Rifle Kit features blade sights, the front sight has a steel base with a blade, while the rear is an open-style steel sight. This Kentucky Rifle Kit is designed to use 5/8″ flints and features a single trigger for accurate shooting. Brass furniture, color case-hardened lock give the rifle an antique look. The Pedersoli™ Kentucky Rifle Kit is 50″ in overall length and weighs 6 1/2 lbs and comes with a wooden ramrod with brass tip and 10×32 threading.
One of the best ways to get a real hands-on muzzleloading experience is to build a rifle yourself. There is no greater feeling of accomplishment than knowing you built a fully functional rifle for shooting or display. This Pedersoli™ Kentucky Long Rifle Kit is great to take out in the field or simply display on your wall.
