2 WEEKS, wow. My research from a couple of years ago said 2 months. But that was probably 1 gunsmith and an apprentice.
Great Work.

I've been fortunate enough to have attended two of this gentleman's seminars. The first was a small group south of Versailles, KY. And the second here in Frankfort, KY. at the museum. At the first he spent a great deal of time one on one sharing his wealth of knowledge not only on the "Kentucky Rifle" but also his great love of history! If you ever get a chance to go to see him please do! Many thanks KYAfield for sharing!

I live in Bucks, lots of curly maple repps are still made  of our county original but I have never seen anything that old other than arrowheads. Thats so cool, its great walking the hardwoods in the blustery late season, passing stone houses built in the 1700s. I absolutely love learning about it, often times I get so deep in the hills that I fell like im flashing back in time.

I could listen/watch this for hours.  This is SO interesting.

The American long rifle is a passion of mine and this is fine video presented by two fine Kentucky gentleman.Thank you.

He said "Warshington". 😁

"Guns had been illegal in England and Germany..." Nothing changed till today.

Would've loved to see a good hour or more of conversation with Mel on this subject. 7 min. is barely and intro.

Wow nice guy, very hard to find people that care about history these days. I was into archeology from the 60’s till the late 90’s. I find it very hard to find young people interested in learning about history these days. Very saaaddd

Awesome Video. I would love to start studying these rifles. Any suggestions on what to read or where to start my studies. Should I join any organizations? Thanks in advance.

Lancaster and Berks Counties in Pennsylvania were the seats of firearms manufacture in early America York county while still important didn't have the numbers of gunsmiths from Germany that the other two had!

Lancaster county pa. Yep

I wish they would've had gun cams like on old fighter planes... bayonet cam?

Great video! I would love to have an early Berks, Lancaster or Lehigh.

Какая красота 👍

Gentleman I am looking for a 45 caliber rifle flintlock or cap lock or both that will fit a person of 5 ft 8 in be accurate with a round ball and a conical I need to know how much a flintlock in 45 caliber for someone 5'8 would cost thank you very much and may God bless

His statement that guns were illegal in England and Germany is incorrect.  Gun control came way, way, way later.  In fact gun ownership in England was quite common.

how much

People that say dates as "seventeen AND eighty six....hate.
