It is what is commonly called a Pennsylvania or Kentucky long rifle, but made by a local gun smith here who specializes in making these rifles just as they did over 200 years ago. It's a tool as well as a piece of art. It rarely gets used because it is so authentic to the old style that I have to melt the lead for the ball to fire from ot because the size is non-standard and I have a mold to make the balls that fit the barrel.

Now, that is something special.  Nice that you were gifted that.  The modern ones, save for the muzzle loading aspect, shoot pretty much like regular guns, almost.
