Hope this upload works. Just wanted to share a picture of my new to me flintlock. It is Tip Curtis #13 rifle. Ornate Bedford County in .45, Probably built ca 1980. Took it to the range for the first time this morning and it's a real good shooter. Pictured with my Robert Ambright J P Beck also in .45. Love shootin rock crushers.

I really like that thin wrist on the bottom one. (I'm too ignorant to know the different 'schools' of early rifle building.)

What's the LOP on them both?

The LOP on the Lancaster is 13 1/2" and on the Bedford a full inch longer at
14 1/2" Barrels are 38" and 34"

That is a truly fine looking pair you have there. And I don't often say that to another guy...

Seriously though both of those are lovely looking smoke poles.
