80+ Years of Contemporary Longrifles | Once in a Lifetime Flintlock Display | Wayne Estes, Tim Cosby

Today we're back with Wayne Estes and Tim Cosby to go through their one-of-a-kind display showcasing the advancement and the evolution of contemporary long rifle building from the 1940s to today.
Wayne and Tim are collectors of Contemporary Longrifles and have been for many years. After the success of last year’s display titled “The Early’s”, featuring early colonial period contemporary builds, Wayne and Tim wanted to return this year and feature a more comprehensive look at contemporary longrifles.
This year’s display features 40 “contemporary” builds dating back to the 1940s, advancing through years and regions to show one of the most comprehensive looks at contemporary muzzleloading seen to date.
