- Jim Chambers Flintlock Rifle Build- The Early Lancaster Pennsylvania Rifle
Take a trip with me as I build my first flintlock rifle. The Jim Chambers Flintlock kits are know in the industry as one of the best available and the most historically correct. I visited his shop in Candler, North Carolina to pick out my stock and meet his daughter Barbie. This will be the first of several videos on my progress as I build this rifle.
The Lancaster rifle represents the early but fully developed Lancaster style of architecture at its finest, with a high, straight comb, slender wrist and forestock, and wide-flat butt plate. Lancaster rifles were used all along the frontier in Pennsylvania before and during the Revolutionary War and were carried west into Ohio and Kentucky and south into Virginia, Tennessee and the Carolinas after the Revolution. The Lancaster is a pleasure to look at as well as to shoot.

Huuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyiiii mis respetos usted si q es el Armero que se necesita en Colombia
Black powder is a great sport to be involved in. I wish people would more involved in it where I live, but they are not. No muzzle loading shows. Only have to rely on CZcams. Don't even know of any builders in SEQ.
I just had ordered the Isaac Haines kit on Monday from Jim Chambers with a rice barrel in a .54 caliber. Looking forward to getting and putting it together. I've never built a gun before, so I'm gonna be where your at right now. I weld for living and can do about anything with metal. I'm sure my welding fabrication experience will give the skills I need to build a gun.
Did you video the progression? I can’t find the other videos
I'm looking forward to seeing your finished rifle and hopefully you demonstrating the rifle in a Daniel Boone hat
Thanks Dave...you’re invited!
What happened to this project? I can find no further reference to the build.
Did u ever finish it
I’ve gotten to the point of adding the relief carving and that’s where I’ve stopped. Trying to get the courage to sink the first gouge.
Is there a followup video #2 ??
Flat shinny thing is blade ft. Sight , threaded barrel thing is ram rod tip
My brothers wife is in ASHEVILLE with there son right now.
How are you getting on with the rifle?
Almost afraid to really start on it. Never did one before and don’t want to screw it up. I did draw file the barrel…hope I did it right…
Any update on the kit?
My son decided to build a new house and I’m helping him…sometimes life gets in the way. I’m hoping to really start on it next winter
@@bargerwoodworking6703 awesome can't wait to see the build have a New England Fowler kit on order from them.
You going to finish or what ?????? 2 years between videos is way too long !!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
How are you getting on with the rifle?
Haven’t really started on it yet. Wife keeps asking for stuff…hope to get to it soon!
Once you get started you'll be fine, just take it steady ☺
