The Taylor's & Company 1816 Harpers Ferry is a .69 caliber flintlock muzzleloader rifle with a 41-inch barrel. It uses single-action operation and standard iron sights. The rifle follows the original Harpers Ferry pattern, and the listing describes a flintlock ignition system designed for manual loading between shots.

Shooters who enjoy historical-style black powder shooting will find this rifle suits range days, as the supplier notes. At .69 caliber it sits well above the .38 caliber muzzleloader minimum on Ohio's legal-gun list for deer, so it meets the state's muzzleloader rules by caliber. The 41-inch barrel gives a long sight radius, and the standard iron sights suit the plain, traditional configuration the supplier describes. The flintlock ignition is set up for manual loading between shots, so the rifle rewards a steady, deliberate pace.
