Fredericksburg, Texas (September 2026) – Earlier this summer, Cimarron Firearms, the premier name in authentic Old West firearm replicas, announced a limited-edition salute to celebrate America’s 250th Birthday with the 250th Commemorative Frontier Rifle. A small supply of these beautifully crafted tributes to the 1776 frontier rifle are currently in stock and ready to take center stage in any collection with great pride.
Cimarron’s beautifully figured maple stock is adorned with a left-side brass plate featuring the Liberty Bell “Let Freedom Ring.” The brass patch box features a Betsy Ross flag, two galloper cannons, crossed sabers, and a “1776 – 2026” inscription. The overall length of the percussion rifle is 54 ¾ inches, with a 29-inch barrel, and it weighs just over 7 pounds. The elegant 250th Commemorative Frontier Rifle is available in .45 or .50 caliber for an MSRP of $2,592.00.
Mike Harvey, CEO of Cimarron Firearms, chose the 1776 frontier rifle as Cimarron’s centerpiece in America’s 250th celebration because it was one of the most popular firearms used by frontiersmen, farmers, hunters, and militia in the fight for separation from the Crown. It is in honor of these true American Patriots that Cimarron Firearms offers this once-in-a-lifetime commemorative replica rifle.
He added, “The Overmountain Men and the Battle of King’s Mountain were the crucial turning point in the Revolutionary War. These patriots were not soldiers, but a militia force comprised of frontiersmen from the Watauga and other areas that would become Tennessee, Virginia, and the Carolinas. The Overmountain Men used guerrilla tactics to surround and overwhelm Major Patrick Ferguson’s Loyalist force. It was the last time Cornwallis could count on Loyalists to fill his ranks. The Overmountain Men were not soldiers but fought purely for their independence and freedom from tyranny.”
