Description:
The Model 7 was the first Hamilton made. The skeleton frame was made entirely of castings, stampings with coil springs, and completely nickel-plated. To load the rifle, the barrel pivots to the left at the frame junction, exposing the chamber. The Hamilton No 7 still holds the record for the longest firing pin on a shoulder fired rifle at 9" long.
44,700 No. 7's were made from 1899-1901, of which Mr. Ringbauer, Hamilton Rifle Historian, Author and Collector, estimates 99.9 percent have gone to "Rifle Heaven". It is estimated that fewer than 45 of these "first model" Hamilton rifles remain. Regardless, very few of the rifle exist. This one is in fair condition and needs some work. It may just be a parts gun. You just don't come across these for sale very often in any condition.
