Description:
AMERICAN Antique Half Stock PLAINS RIFLE
With W. Belknap & Co Medallion in Stock
Here we present an antique Half-Stock American Plains Rifle, made circa 1850.
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.
This rifle features a 32 inch full octagonal barrel in .48 caliber. It is equipped with double set triggers. The stock has a “Redhead Reliance” shot shell base in the right side. In the left side of the stock is a “W. Belknap & Co.” medallion.
The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces are dark with age. The markings are legible. The stock shows the story of a long hard life. The bore is clean with strong rifling. The action on this rifle is excellent, strong and crisp.
