Description:
Antique Mid-1800s .36 Cal. BACK ACTION Half Stock Percussion TARGET Rifle
Pre-CIVIL WAR Unmarked TARGET Rifle
Here we present an antique Half Stock Back Action Percussion Target Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century. Its stout octagonal barrel is in .36 caliber, large enough to take small to medium 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.
These locks were called “back action” because the mainspring hangs behind the tumbler. The back action is often used in single and double rifles, and occasionally in single barrel shotguns where the need for strength requires as little steel as possible be removed from the bar of the action.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. Bright, nicely rifled bore. This example sports a nice solid stock with less than average wear. Rear peep sight. includes a muzzle protector. The ramrod lugs have been soldered.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 30 inches.
Caliber: .35 Percussion
