Gone, but not forgotten, sold this a while back, a custom made 1790s John Rupp style rifle in .50 cal with a Getz swamped 48 inch barrel, button rifling, and Chambers lock. Similar to the type of rifle my ancestors used back then. I have a written account in an old 1830s book of my 4 times great-grandfather fighting off Shawnee Indians (one of whom may have been Tecumseh) attacking his homestead on the frontier of western Virginia in 1794 using a rifle like this, his military musket and two flintlock pistols.
