	Sigh, I suppose I will have to fix this page. For one thing, the Kentucky/PA rifles were indeed rifles because of the rifled bore gunmaking traditions of German gunsmiths in the American colonies. However, most of the long guns, especially the MILITARY long guns from Europe like the Brown Bess were Smoothbore. We have to make sure we differentiate between rifled flintlocks and smoothbore flintlocks. There is a MIX of the two represented on THIS PAGE.
