RELIC Antique Half Stock Plains Rifle Circa 1832
Description: RELIC Antique Half Stock Plains Rifle Circa 1832 American Half Stock Percussion Long Rifle Here we present an antique Half Stock Percussion Rifle, made circa 1832. The American Longrifle, more commonly, but less correctly, known as the 'Kentucky rifle', was described by Captain John G. W. Dillin in the dedication to his seminal 1924 book, The Kentucky Rifle: “From a flat bar of soft iron, hand forged into a gun barrel; laboriously bored and rifled with crude tools; fitted with a stock hewn from a maple tree in the neighboring forest; and supplied with a lock hammered to shape on the anvil; an unknown smith, in a shop long since silent, fashioned a rifle which changed the whole course of world history; made possible the settlement of a continent; and ultimately freed our country of foreign domination. Light in weight; graceful in line; economical in consumption of powder and lead; fatally precise; distinctly American; it sprang into immediate popularity; and for a hundred years was a model often slightly varied but never radically changed.” This .50 caliber rifle has a back-action lock marked “JOSH GOLCHER” in Gothic letters, with a hunter and fowl flying up around him. There is a brass patchbox on the right side of the butt stock. Trigger guard and butt plate are also brass. The barrel is octagonal with a turned down portion at the muzzle. This piece is in relic condition. The action is immobile. The barrel is no longer fastened to the stock. Nevertheless, here is history. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 31-13/16 inches in length. Caliber: .50 Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $500 #10511 SOLD Antique: Yes |
