An Interesting 18th Century Flintlock Rifle,Crafted by James Poyas of Charleston, South Carolina, this interesting antique flintlock rifle has an incredibly strange feature, a spring loaded bayonet located within the buttstock of the rifle. Releasing a latch behind the trigger springs the bayonet in place. Recently this rifle has undergone professional restoration, including replacement of the blade. -- source link
