Why visit this site and
why come back?
About 15 years ago I reserved
the domain name
"flintriflesmith.com"
because I believed that every artisan would
need a web site to showcase work
and communicate with customers.
In the last few years web sites
like that of the
Contemporary
Longrifle Association and
message boards like the one on
AmericanLongrifles.org have
revolutionized the way we
communicate and share
information. However, I
still believe
individual web sites can still
be useful and I'm now
on the road to discovering how to use this one.
This site will always be evolving.
Since I am not seeking custom
orders at this time, this site
will be different from sites of
active builders you may have
visited.
My most valuable contribution to
rifle building right now is
probably the knowledge and
experience I have gained through
forty years of research. Some of
this work has been published but
the internet seems like an ideal
place for bits and pieces that
would interest only a few
specialists. Follow the
research
link for historical tidbits and
recommended reading.
I have a section where tools and
techniques and a few helpful
tips
can be found.

There is also a photo gallery of old and new
work.
