Description:
Antique J. CRAIG Full-Stock .50 Caliber Percussion PITTSBURGH Long Rifle
Kentucky Style HUNTING/HOMESTEAD Long Rifle!
Here we present an antique J. Craig Full Stock Percussion Long Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Its stout octagonal barrel is in .50 caliber, large enough to take medium to large 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 example features a top barrel flat signed “J. CRAIG PITTSBURGH” and a “WHITMORE & WOLFF/PITTSBURGH” marked lock.
The overall condition is very good. The action is excellent with a crisp double set trigger. The percussion nipple is absent though the bolster is still threaded. The bore is patinaed with strong rifling. The stock is beautifully striped. There is a small graft just atop the lock plate and a small brass plate along the top of the wrist. A beautiful rifle!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 36-1/2 inches.
Caliber: .50 Percussion
