Description:
An American halfstock Plains rifle of .36 cal, 34 3/8" octagon barrel with an oxidized bore showing some good rifling. The metal surfaces of this rifle have toned to a dark plum-brown patina showing some scattered light dings and moderate percussion cap erosion around the bolster. The barrel is maker-marked in script with "Peter" visible, the surname is quite soft and difficult to decipher, it is possibly the known maker Humbarger of Ohio but the name does not appear to be quite long enough. The simple lock shows scattered erosion and remnants of light game scene embellishments. The arm is equipped with brass and German silver fittings including brass under-rib, dual ramrod thimbles, tailpipe, nosecap, dual spur triggerguard, pendulum patch box, buttplate, fancy lock screw escutcheon and cheekpiece inlay while the German silver components consist of fourteen various small decorative pieces. The curly maple stock remains in about very good condition showing a repaired sliver along the left edge of the forearm and a repaired chip ahead of the lock, a flexing 2" crack at the right edge of forearm, some scattered smaller drying cracks and minor dings. The stock features a scant left side cheekpiece and shows attractive grain figure throughout. The rifle is equipped with a simple fine v-notch rear sight, brass blade front sight and double set triggers and a simple hickory ramrod is present. The lock works well, and the set triggers seem to function normally.When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
