Pedersoli Kentucky Rifled Muskets

‘Kentucky Rifle’ series rifled muskets

Originally developed in the 1730’s, the ‘Kentucky Rifle’ (also known by various other names including ‘Kentucky,’ ‘long rifle,’ and ‘hog rifle’ among others) was designed to meet the unique needs of the American frontier. Built lighter, sleeker, and firing smaller calibre ball than their heavier, more unbalanced European counterparts, the Kentucky rifle was not only more accurate but used gunpowder and lead – both of which were scarce commodities in early America – much more conservatively than the bigger bore old world muskets. Its effective range was over three times that of the British ‘Brown Bess’ smoothbore musket, which helped make both the American ‘long rifle’ and the frontiersmen who carried it legends in their own time.
