James Fady's Personal Longrifle

Jim Fady saw me shooting one of my flintlock rifles at a Tidewater Muzzleloader's meat shoot. He liked the rifle I made so much that he wanted me to make him a longrifle similar to mine. This is a copy of Andrew Verner's rifle from Bucks County Pennsylvania. The double head eagle indicates it was made Pre Revolutionary War. The barrel length is 46 1/2 inches, LOP is 14 inches and the weight is 12 pounds. The overall length is 62 inches and the caliber is 45.
