Lancaster Smoothbore












This "smoothrifle" has a 48" ,54 caliber, octagon to round barrel by Larry Horrigan. The left handed lock is a Chamber's large Siler. The butt plate and trigger guard are from Reeves Goering . The curly maple stock was shaped down from a plank. There is a 1/4" cast off and a 14 1/2" length of pull.  Wood and metal has an aged finish. This has yet to be fired and sighted in: the front sight will most likely be lowered
