Description:
Antique MID-19th CENTURY Half-Stock .34 Cal. Percussion American LONG RIFLE
Kentucky Style Long Rifle w/ R. ASHMORE & SON Lock
Here we present an antique Half Stock Percussion Long Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century with an R. Ashmore & Son lock. Richard Ashmore made and sold flint and percussion locks to gunsmiths throughout the country. The buyers of his locks used them to produce various Kentucky and plains rifles. Ashmore made locks out of his home in Kentucky from somewhere around 1835 to the mid-1850s.
This gun’s stout octagonal barrel is in .34 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.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Solid stock, contains a stable crack to the rear of the lock. Markings on the lock are partially obfuscated. The ramrod is a replacement.
