The John Sheetz Inspired Rifle

This Virginia style rifle represents Jesse's most ambitious project to date. All components except the barrel were hand fabricated by Jesse himself including the trigger guard and buttplate which he cast.
The inspiration for this rifle by Virginia Master Riflesmith John Sheetz, has been extensively documented by Wallace Gusler and David Harvey in Historical Armsmaking Technology Vol 5.
The rifle is a 36 caliber with a ketland style lock with double set triggers .
Please contact Jesse if you are interested in this amazing rifle: It is for sale.
