Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The long rifle, also known as the Kentucky rifle, Pennsylvania rifle, or American long rifle, is a muzzle-loading firearm used for hunting and warfare. It was one of the first commonly used rifles. The American rifle was characterized by a very long barrel of relatively small caliber, uncommon in European rifles of the period. The long rifle is an early example of a firearm using rifling (spiral grooves in the bore), which caused the projectile, commonly a round lead ball in the early firearm, to spin around the axis of its motion. This increased the stability of its trajectory and dramatically improved accuracy over contemporary smooth-bore muskets, which were cheaper and more common. Rifled firearms were first used in major combat in the American colonies in the eighteenth century during the French and Indian War and later the American Revolution, with increasing use in the War of 1812, the Texan Revolution, and the American Civil War.
Hatfield rifles were popular in Missouri during Ted Hatfield's production. He was known for his artistic expression and was skilled at making attractive rifles with good inlay work. Some years ago, Ted Hatfield started building a reproduction Kentucky-style rifle in St. Joseph, Missouri. The rifle was a close copy of those built by his great-great-grandfather, Moses Hatfield. If the name sounds familiar, it's because this is the same Hatfield family involved in the notorious Hatfield-McCoy feud from Kentucky and West Virginia, which is known as one of the longest and bloodiest feuds on record.
