Werder Sporting Rifle with fullstock (Read 3125 times)

	So, here is my really cool Werder Sporting rifle. The bore is perfect, and it shoots quite accurately. Chambering is 11.5X35R Werder carbine, using a 340 grain .458" Lee bullet at around 1150 fps. Great, light trigger. Has a sliding wooden patchbox which works great, with a horn button. It looks like there was originally a horn triggerguard extension which is long gone, due to two tapped holes in the triggerplate strap, and one in the back of the triggerguard. I was selling it, gave my head a shake - keeping it.

	That is really cool! What strikes me is the many similarities here and there to the old flintlock rifles.

	Rek, I was thinking exactly the same thing I see a lot of 18th ---very early 19th century military flintlock hardware in that rifle. that shot of the muzzle end could be any number of old flintlocks as is the butt/butt-plateshots. Looks like they recycled an old military ML by adding a breechloader action. Sort of like a U.S. Trapdoor rifle was a modified Muzzleloading percussion rifle, which came from a C.W. ML military rifled musket which came from a smoothbore army musket which started as a flintlock.
