Davide Pedersoli .45 Calibre Muzzle Loading ‘Kentucky’ Long Rifle. **UK 2020 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATE** 22429. - 22429
The long rifle, also known as the Kentucky rifle, Pennsylvania rifle, or American long rifle, is a muzzle-loading firearm used for hunting and warfare. It was one of the first commonly used rifles. The American rifle was characterised by a very long barrel, uncommon in European rifles of the period. The long rifle was developed on the American frontier in southeastern Pennsylvania, in the early 1700s. It continued to be developed technically and artistically until it passed out of fashion in the 19th century. The long rifle was the product of German gunsmiths who immigrated to new settlements in southeastern Pennsylvania in the early 1700s, and later in Virginia and other territories, reproducing early Jäger rifles (meaning "hunter" and sometimes anglicised Jaeger), which were used for hunting in Germany in the 17th and early 18th century. This excellent Pedersoli replica (Davide Pedersoli has always distinguished itself by their historical research of the guns to reproduce, to identify some of the most important steps in the gun manufacturing tradition of eighteenth and nineteenth centuries European and American firearms) is in very good original condition with wood/metal and brass work in excellent order with only minor signs of age related wear. Length: 146 cm. The price includes UK 2020 Deactivation certificate and UK delivery. 22429.
