Description:
Probably the most widely issued carbine in the Civil War, approximately 60,000 of these 1863 models were manufactured, and used extensively throughout the war. They were .52 caliber, straight breech, percussion breech loaders, with pellet primer feeders, and proved to be one of the most reliabel, accurate, and user friendly guns of the period. After the war, most were remodeled and converted to 50/70 cartridge guns, and continued to be used throughout the Indian War period, until finally being replaced by the 45/70 Springfield Model 1873. This gun is a good, original example of these famous cavalry carbines. It is tight, mechanically perfect and has a very decent, six groove rifle bore. It has had, what appears to be, an arsenal repair to the wrist of the stock, just under the saddle ring bar, but done very neatly. It has traces of original finish, but shows a lot of character, and has been well maintained. PRICE: $2,250 2% discount for cash or check payment.
