They're basically the same thing. The design originates in Pennsylvania, but became known as the Kentucky rifle because of it being carried by frontiersmen to Kentucky. The term "Kentucky rifle" also became common because of a popular song of the day called "The Hunters of Kentucky." You can tell that the rifle in the vid is an early Revolutionary-era design because of the sliding wood patchbox.

I don't know how one can put a price on such a beautiful piece of art like that.By the look of it,clearly a man who took pride in his work and his art...
-
that rifle is awesome.

Seriously! Smithsonian museum quality rifles.

@gravedigr12 Haha! You wish! More like: 900 hours production time x 50 to 80 dollars/hour = $4500 to $7200 for labour PLUS materials say $2000 to $3000! You are looking at a one of a kind gun at about $6000 to $10200 from a MASTER craftsman. OR you could get a factory gun, a Pedersoli say, without all the fancy engraving and woodwork for about $600 to $1200.

god such beauty in a flintlock, tell me compared to a desert eagle you tell me which one is more of a greater gun?
xdragonashx 3 years ago
completely different guns, i like them both. the .44 desert eagle will do some damage and it's a blast to shoot. The flintlock is more of an antiquity and has a certain grace when you shoot it.
