HARD TO FIND A BETTER ONE WITH BAIONET, SCABBARD and FROG!.... MISSISSIPPI RIFLE. Cal. 54. NSN. Standard configuration of model 1841 brass mounted two band rifle, "HARPERS FERRY 1850" marked lock with eagle & "US". 33" barrel dated 1850 and inspected "WCK" (William C. Kirby-inspector at time of alteration) along with original barrel inspection "AW / P". Harpers Ferry armory modified for saber bayonet with added lug, shortening forestock, and cut back front band. Long-range adjustable Enfield-style leaf sight (spanner screw retained) & model 1855-style front sight are characteristic of what George Moller classifies as a type III alteration performed at Harpers Ferry 1858-1860. About 4500 rifles were altered in this configuration with about half being rebored and the reminder remaining in .54 caliber like this fine survivor with matching bayonet. Bayonet has several sub-inspector initials. This is a very fine survivor with original brown finish & crisp bore with crisp shiny 7 land and groove rifling. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: copy of pages from George Moller's 2011 text detailing this alteration. CONDITION: fine overall, complete and original, barrel retains about 90% brown finish, crisp marking & proofs. Stock is sound and solid with good "WCK" inspection stamped in flat opposite lock along with weak and barely discernible "JLR" (John L. Reseler, original 1850 inspector) mechanically sound, crisp rifled bore. Accompanying saber bayonet, scabbard, and frog are in matching very good to fine condition, 27" blade is bright/gray, staining, fits well. ... 2nd firearm SHIPS FREE, with this one!...S/H $60....INSURANCE IS EXTRA...I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST PACKAGES....Thanks  Greg 151-156, 284, cp SEE MY NUMEROUS FIREARMS of NICE CIVIL WAR AND INDIAN WARS...GREAT PRICES!
