This 1816 Commemorative Remington Long Rifle is a faithful tribute to the rifle associated with Eliphalet Remington II, the founder of what would become one of America’s most recognized firearms makers. Styled after the long rifle he reportedly built in 1816 from scrap metal in his father’s forge, this piece reflects the working American rifle tradition of the early republic. It stands squarely in the world of the frontier sporting arm: long-barreled, deliberate in form, and built for accuracy, utility, and permanence rather than ornament alone.

Mechanically, this is a true flintlock muzzleloader, operating on the same ignition principles that defined the period before percussion systems took hold. Powder and patched round ball are loaded from the muzzle, and the 40.00" octagonal barrel gives the rifle the forward steadiness expected of a proper longrifle pattern. The browned finish, achieved in a sweat box with real bee’s wax, adds a traditional surface treatment that suits the rifle’s historical intent, while the bronze-tipped wooden ramrod and bronze furniture keep the build visually and mechanically consistent with the commemorative concept.

In the hands, the rifle offers the long sighting plane and measured balance that black powder shooters look for in a serious flint arm. The front stainless blade and fixed rear buckhorn provide a practical sight picture, and the 1:66 twist is well suited to the round-ball character of a traditional .50 caliber rifle. Dual set triggers give the shooter the option of a finer let-off when precision matters, while the substantial overall length and long barrel promote the calm, deliberate handling that belongs to this type.

Hatfield Rifle Company of St. Joseph, Missouri earned a reputation for producing handsome traditional-style muzzleloaders, and this 1995 commemorative shows that intent clearly. The oiled curly maple stock, browned octagon barrel, engraved bronze patchbox, and bronze buttplate create a rifle that respects period materials and lines without straying into theatrical excess. It reads as a purposeful commemorative: historically minded, well appointed, and rooted in the architecture of the early American longrifle rather than a loose modern interpretation.

For the collector of Remington history, the black powder shooter who appreciates classic American rifle forms, or the buyer who wants a commemorative that still carries real mechanical substance, this one has real merit. The connection to Eliphalet Remington II gives it stronger historical relevance than a generic reproduction, and the included historical paperwork and certificate application further support its place in a thoughtful collection. This is the kind of rifle that belongs equally in a period arms rack, a Remington-focused collection, or a shooter’s rotation built around authentic black powder handling.
