Description:
REBEL & UNION Civ War AUSTRIAN Saddle Ring Carbine
Belgian Conversion Large Bore .67 CAL M1842
Here we present an antique Austrian Model 1842 Cavalry Carbine (at times also referred to as the Früwirth Carbine), made circa 1856. These carbines are known to have been imported to the United States and to the Confederacy during the American Civil War.
These very short and handy carbines (not much larger than a pistol like the US M1842) were originally made using the “tube lock” mechanism, essentially a very distinct percussion conversion of a flintlock gun, that was more aimed at saving money and not having to retrain an entire army than being state of the art. They were not long after considered obsolete, but the American Civil War created demand for even what was considered old technology and the Austrians were happy to be paid for their old stock. Before being exported they were converted from the tubelock system to the more conventional percussion system via several different methods, and many were also fitted with ramrods since the Austrian Cavalry carried theirs on their person.
The overall condition is very good. The bore is in great shape with nice rifling. The action is excellent.
