Harvey Gillespie pattern stock.

This is a copy of an original signed Harvey Gillespie rifle. Harvey was born 6/18/1820 in Mills River NC. He was the son of Mathew Gillespie and was taught the gunmaking trade by his father. He built rifles in Mills River until his move to Jackson County NC in 1852. In 1868 he moved back to Mills River and died there in 1877.

A picture of this rifle is shown on page 44 and 45 of my book The Gillespie Gun Makers of East Fork NC

The stock is inletted for your or my straight or swamped barrel ($30 extra) and it has the correct ram rod hole pre-drilled. The butt is cut to fit my Gillespie buttplate or you may use the Pete Allan NC/SC buttplate sold by other suppliers.
