PENNSYLVANIA Antique LONG RIFLE with GEORGE MAYER of LANCASTER Lock BBL Sig
1800s Full-Stock Maple Long Rifle!
Here we present an antique WJB Signed Full-Stock Pennsylvania Long Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century with a George Mayer lock. Mayer was a craftsman who exclusively made locks out of Lancaster, Pennsylvania beginning in 1835 and continuing through the mid-1800s. Its stout octagonal barrel is in .40 caliber, large enough to take medium to large sized game or to defend the homestead against unwanted aggression. Rifle manufacture in the mid-to-late 19th Century was rapidly changing over from thousands of craftsmen all over the United States and on the Frontier making and selling their wares, to the large factories with standardized assembly lines and modern manufacturing techniques. Many makers’ names of the so-called Kentucky long rifles have been lost over time. This rifle is one such example.
The overall condition is good. The action functions, although the hammer has a little play. The bore is in good condition with nice rifling. “W. JB” is engraved atop the barrel. “GEORGE MAYER/LANCASTER” is read on the lock. Nice, large patch box. Here is a fantastic American full stock plains style rifle to collect and display!

Barrel is 42 inches.
Caliber: .36
