Description:
Antique Half Stock .42 Percussion HOMESTEAD/HUNTING Rifle CURLY MAPLE Stock
Mid-1800s GAME GETTING Rifle w/SET TRIGGER
Here we present an antique Half Stock Percussion Rifle made circa the Mid-1800s. The percussion rifle was a type of rifle that utilized the percussion lock mechanism to fire a bullet or musket ball. The Percussion lock mechanism was an evolution of the flintlock mechanism used on earlier muskets and rifles, with the percussion rifle being introduced somewhere around 1820.
The percussion rifle had a slight advantage when it came to rate of fire over its flintlock counterparts. The use of a percussion cap reduced the reloading time, meaning the average number of shots per minute would consistently fall between three and four per minute. The percussion lock was also very reliable in wet conditions, and the reverse is true for the flintlocks with the primer not being affected by having water in contact with it, while the powder was virtually incapable of being exposed to water.
The overall condition is good. Strong action with fully functioning set trigger. The bore has dimmed but remains in very good shape with strong rifling. The wooden cone peep sight is in great shape and is a unique feature. The maple striped stock has an average amount of wear and remains solid. Some small repairs and chips around found on the stock. This example is littered with German silver escutcheons.
