DOCUMENTARY COPY OF THE CHRISTIAN OERTER RIFLE

PRICE $15,000

This rifle is copied from the famous Oerter rifle which was made at Christian's Spring, PA in 1775. The original piece is signed on the barrel "Chris Oerter : Chris. Spring . 1775 No 164". Jack signed his rifle "I. Brooks : Christian : 2007 No. 164.1". The presentation grade curly maple stock is decorated with silver wire inlay and has a griffin carved behind the cheek piece. The mythical beast has bone inlay for the beak and claws. The side opening brass patch box is decorated with fine engraving. Jack thinks that the antique rifle is perhaps the most important American longrifle that survives. This rifle is also featured in the Photo Gallery

Being a full time gun maker for 30 years, I now also offer a variety of castings for sale to gunsmiths, collectors, and re-enactors who desire the ultimate in authentic parts. My goal is to offer quality parts in a timely manner. Most parts will be made directly from molds of antique gun parts. New offerings will be available continually from my own collection as well as others.

Below is a list of castings available currently.
