Crockett long rifle ®
Davy Crockett

Greg S. Murry will make a copy of the only documented muzzleloading rifle that has rifle making family connection to the legendary Davy Crockett. These reproductions are hand made in Greg's shop just like LT. Andrew Crockett taught his son Samuel Crockett lll and his grandson, Andrew Crockett lll to make them at Forge Seat Brentwood, Tennessee 1810 to 1826. 

If flintlock rifles are not your thing, My art medium (Steel Canvas fine art) that I created in 2001 might be what you have been looking for. "Face book it!"

Question: Is this Davy Crockett's personal rifle?

Answer: No it is not. However LT Andrew Crockett's family is related to Davy Crockett.

Question: This rifle in the photographs is a percussion rifle, why do you call it a flintlock?

Answer: This rifle was made in 1811. At some point around 1830 or so it was converted from flintlock to percussion. being that it was originally a flintlock, I identify it as a Flintlock.

Question: Are these rifles real? 

Answer: Yes they are, especially when you are in the line of sights up to one hundred thirty yards. 

Question: How much time does it take to make one? 

Answer: $8,500.00 worth of my elbow grease and  time.

Question: Do you have a machine shop? 

Answer: No I dont, the only power tools in my rifle making shop are a band saw, two  drill presses and a grinder. I do have a welder and a plasma cutter but that is used for making my Steel Canvas art. All of my rifle work  is truly hand made.  

Question: Are the barrels riffled? 

Answer: Yes they are. My barrel maker Jason at Rice Barrel co. makes an exact copy of the original rifles barrel. The process hasn't changed other than using some electricity to power the tools. Other than that, the process is the same as it was in 1810/1826

Question: Do I need a permit or licensee to own a flint lock rifle?

Answer: In most states, no you dont. However some states are still restricting the ownership of fire arms just as King George did in the early colonization of the Americas. You and I will do our homework when you request a rifle to be made.

Question: Do I need fire arms training in order to shoot a flint lock rifle?

Answer: YES YOU DO! These flintlock rifles are primitive fire arms. Black powder is a highly explosive propellent. DANGER! Never use smokeless powder. Every owner of my flintlock rifle must sign a hold harmless waiver.
