An 1840 - 1860 vintage Ohio halfstock rifle, in the style of John and Caleb Vincent, signed by talented gunsmith J. Eddie Brown. The highly figured maple stock has been stained to best reveal the stripe and figure. The figure and the reddish undertone combine to make this rifle very appealing to the eye. The classic Vincent style scroll surrounding the barrel keeper pin is nickel silver, and the forend cap is polished poured pewter. These are correct features, all commonly found on collectible original antique Vincent rifles. The brass entry pipe retains the 5/16" diameter ramrod. Vincent rifles use this small ramrod, regardless of caliber. The entry pipe has octagon flats, and the skirt tapers to a point. This appearance is almost a Vincent signature. Mr. Brown has captured the slim grace and feel of the original Vincent rifles. These were not thick or clumsy, but were simple and elegant.
