Kentucky Rifle - .36 caliber.
Pennsylvania Rifle - .40 caliber
Kentucky Plains Flintlock Musket

The Kentucky rifle, sometimes also known as the "Long Rifle" or "Pennsylvania Rifle" is famously known as the first American-made long-arm with a rifled barrel, featuring lands and grooves causing the bullet to spin as it leaves the gun, making it far more accurate than the smoothbore muskets of the time, including the British Brown Bess Flintlock Musket.

The Pennsylvania or "Kentucky" rifle was perfected by dozens of gunsmith shops large and small centered around Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and was popular with the American pioneers venturing into the land called Kentucky over the Appalachian Mountains in the late 1700s and early 1800s. In the newly settled over-mountain areas, local copies such as the "Tennessee Poor Boy" were made by gunsmiths and blacksmiths.

The colonists during the Revolutionary War favored Kentucky Rifles since they had used them for hunting and when fighting the British, they definitely knew how to use them. The gun is also well known as being the first true sniper rifle, based on how an experienced marksman could shoot a redcoat off his horse at up to 250 yards. The gun was used all the way up to the War of 1812 before the Scottish Percussion design slowly phased the flintlock design out. Some Percussion models of the rifle were made, but by that time the rifling had become so common, the gun became obsolete as a frontline weapon after the Mexican American War.
