Description:
Antique FALLING BLOCK Rifle HOPKINS & ALLEN .32 WCF H&A
Single Shot Falling Block, Octagonal Barrel & Tang Peep Sight
Here we present an antique Hopkins & Allen Manufacturing Company Falling Block Rifle in .32-20 WCF, made between 1888 and 1892 in Norwich, Connecticut. The Hopkins & Allen Manufacturing Company of Norwich, Connecticut was founded in 1866. The name was changed to Hopkins & Allen Arms Company in 1896 and continued until the company was taken over by Marlin-Rockwell Corporation in 1914.
Hopkins & Allen was known mainly for their revolvers, but the firm did start manufacturing single shot rifles like this one in 1888. The company also produced several of both single shot and side-by-side shotguns. This Falling Block was chambered in a variety of calibers ranging from .22 rimfire through .38-55 WCF. Its single shot action would have been great to teach a young lad the importance of making every shot count!
This one features an octagonal barrel and tang-mounted peep sight.
The overall condition is very good. Original blue finish. Traces of case colors remain. The action is strong. The bore is bright throughout with sharp rifling. The walnut stock is smooth and solid, though there is a split emanating from the rearmost tang screw on the front left part of the comb. This is a handsome falling block rifle in a great cartridge!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 26 inches.
