Description:
S. Fry__ Antique 19th CENTURY Half-Stock .40 Percussion American LONG RIFLE
Kentucky Style HUNTING/HOMESTEAD Long Rifle
Here we present an antique Half Stock Percussion Long Rifle by S. Fry__, made circa the mid-19th Century. Its stout octagonal barrel is in .40 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.
The overall condition is fair. The signature is a bit light after the “S. Fry__” but it appears there is more to the name. The action is not presently functional: the hammer will not hold the cocked position unless it is held back and the set trigger pressed at the same time; the hammer will not drop unless the front trigger is pressed and the hammer thumbed back slightly; good spring tension though. The bore is untouched and quite dusty with good rifling visible. The stock shows much use and has a nice figure. Ramrod absent. The top tang is cracked at the screw but does not move. This one has a shapely patchbox as well.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 38-5/8 inches.
