First, you must know that I know nothing about guns or rifles. I just know this has been in my dad's gun safe since the 1940's.
I broke it out today to try and research it and somehow I found this forum. I hope I'm posting this in the right place.
I have a burnside rifle with the serial number 32043 which is probably not important but I feel the carving might be.
It simply says "Flint Co L" scratched or carved into the stock. It's two lines, with the FLINT on top and the Co L underneath.
Can anyone guide me in researching this? I have pictures!
Thanks,
Nelda
