Description:
ANTIQUE Half Stock Percussion LONG RIFLE
With Double Set Trigger
Here we present an antique Back-Action Half Stock Rifle manufactured circa the mid-1800s. The rifle features a double set trigger and a pistol grip style trigger guard. Neither the barrel nor the lock are visibly marked by a maker. These were called “back action” because the mainspring hangs behind the tumbler. The back action is often used in double rifles and occasionally in single barrel shotguns where the need for strength requires as little steel as possible be removed from the bar of the action. This lock was popular on percussion guns made in St. Louis, New York, California, Ohio, England and Belgium. Back Action percussion locks were a “late” developed style of lock. Used primarily on the hardware store line of guns, these locks did, however, show up on some better pieces in the mid-to-late 1800′s. Back Action locks are extremely fast and are often used on competition, squirrel, and light-weight boy’s rifles.
The lock is marked “JOS GOLCHER”. Joseph Golcher specialized in making locks for sale to gunsmiths who either didn’t have the time or the skills to make their own locks.
The overall condition is fair. The metal surfaces are dark with age. The markings are clear and legible. The bore is dark. The stock is in good shape with a varnish coating. The front of the ramrod rib is a bit separated. The action on this rifle is nonfunctioning.
