Question: Is this David Crockett's personal rifle?

Answer: No it is not. However, Rifle maker LT Andrew Crockett was David Crockett's uncle. Rifle makers Samuel Crockett lll and Andrew Crockett lll were David Crockett's cousins.

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

Answer: The original rifle was made in 1811. At some point, around 1830 or so, it was converted from flintlock to percussion. because 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: $9,000.00 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 bandsaw, two  drill presses, a grinder, two gas forges, and one coal forge. 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 (1808 -1826)

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

Answer: In most states, no you don't. 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 flintlock 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.
