TENNESSEE SHIMMEL-STYLE FLINTLOCK FULL-STOCK BUCK AND BALL GUN.

TENNESSEE SHIMMEL-STYLE FLINTLOCK FULL-STOCK BUCK AND BALL GUN. This very plain smooth bore gun has a 45-1/2″ oct to rnd smooth bbl, which appears to be flared at the muzzle, and was made as a working man’s gun. There is a grease hole in the stock typical of those used in Tennessee-style guns. The stock was made without a butt plate, nose cap, entrance ferrule, or trigger guard. The hand-made forged iron trigger guard existing on the rifle appears to be a later addition by the owner. This is a good example of a very low-priced gun purchased originally for around-the-farm usage. CONDITION: There is an old repair to the wood at the muzzle end of the bbl, a wood repair just forward of the frizzen, and a wood repair on the lock plate side of the bbl tang. The flint lock appears to be a replacement 4-32247 RGG220 (1,000-1,500)
