SMLE .60 caliber matchlock

[breakeyp]

I found this interesting odd ball at a shop in Pennsylvania. It is entirely hand made using an SMLE as the pattern. I wish the craftsman would have signed his work.

When the trigger is pulled, linkage moves the arm near the flash pan that is loaded with fine powder. The arm holds a lighted cord that ignites the primer charge. Wind and wet weather render it useless.
