This rifle is a distant relative of rifle number 119 in Rifles of Colonial America by George Shumway. It is a bit unusual due to its architecture resembling a fowler, but clearly being built as a rifle from the outset. Due to its fowler styling, it is a very comfortable gun to shoulder and shoot. The slim wrist and overall profile makes for a nice, slim, lightweight gun.
This particular example is built with a Rice, 42 inch, B-weight, .50 caliber, swamped barrel. It weighs in at 7lbs and 12 ounces. It has a curly maple stock and is lightly aged/antiqued.
I have slightly smaller hands than average so I love the slim wrist on this rifle. It is just a super comfortable gun to carry and shoulder.
I hope you enjoy the pictures:
