HENRY DERINGER Contract U.S. Model 1817 COMMON RIFLE Antique .54 Percussion
“US” Marked 1 of 13,000 Contracted by Henry Deringer
Here we present an antique U.S. Model 1817 “Common Rifle” from the Henry Deringer Contract, made in 1843 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This was one of only 13,000 made by Deringer. The M1817 common rifle was issued due to the Dept. of Ordnance's order of 1814, produced and used from the 1820s to 1840s at the American frontier. The 36-inch barrel is in its original rifled format for .54 caliber ball. Like the Model 1814, it had a large oval patchbox in the buttstock. Many of these were used during the American Civil War, especially in the early days of the conflict when military weapons were hard to come by. Originally a flintlock, most were converted to percussion cap, as this one is, for their firing mechanism. The flash pan, frizzen and frizzen spring were deleted from the exterior of the lock and a percussion nipple threaded directly into the breech end of the barrel. A new hammer was installed as well.
The left side of the barrel bears government inspection marks.
The overall condition is very good. Excellent action. Very nice bore with sharp rifling and some shine.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 36 inches.
Caliber: .54 Percussion
