These slim longrifles are unique to the Bedford County area, where they were made from the flint era until the 1880's, long after the advent of cartridge rifles. Neatly drawn and dimensioned, with some tips to aid assembly. Tthese plans will allow you to replicate a Bedford County longrifle, using our L&R Bedford flint or percussion lock, stock, barrel and castings. We also recommend Gunmakers of Bedford, Fulton, Huntington & Somerset, Counties. This book reveals Bedford County rifle details, in close-up photos.
