The Pleasant Valley Masonic Center (PVMC) has teamed up with Brother Peter A. Alexander to create a one-of-a-kind Kentucky Rifle with a Mason flair. Tickets were sold for a chance to win a unique handcrafted firearm. Proceeds benefited the PVMC. Here are the details of the gun from Peter himself:
This rifle has a swamped Getz rifled barrel of .50 caliber, a beautiful Chambers' flintlock with a brass lock plate, a stock of very impressive tiger maple, and of course the decoration is as elaborate as I can create. The double set triggers, of my own creation, allow you to squeeze the trigger at short range shots, while setting the rear trigger make the firing, or front trigger a "hair" touch, so you will not disturb the point of aim at longer ranges. The rifle boasts silver inlays inletted into brass and vise versa, as well as the best relief carving I can do. There is also an abundance of silver wire accentuating the decoration.
