Jaeger Transitional Rifle- Christian Springs/Marshall Style
This is an early American Jaeger rifle during the transition period leaning toward the Christian Springs style. Although the rifle will have the early butt plate the stock will be narrower and not have the blunderbuss forearm like the Jaeger rifles. The furniture will be brass with a wooden patchbox. The barrel is a swamped 31" barrel in a .54 caliber. The lock is a Jaeger flintlock and will have a single hand forged trigger. A sling swivel with a rear button will be added. Fowler thimbles will be installed. {Click on photos below for larger image.)
Please forgive me if the they are not very good. This is a 15 second mini-movie and may take a little while to start. Movie 1
