Antique MASS. ARMS Co. M1882 MAYNARD Patent .25 RF Hunting/TARGET Rifle
1880s MASSACHUSETTS Manufactured SPORTING Rifle
Here we present an antique Massachusetts Arms Company Maynard Patent Model 1882 Rifle, made circa the 1880s in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. The Maynard M1882 hunting/target rifle was developed by Edward Maynard and produced during its eight-year production run between 1882 and the mid-1890s. It was one of the first rifles to use quickly interchangeable barrels of various calibers. Though many considered this rifle “ugly”, it was quite popular being both accurate and dependable.
Maynard received his first patent in 1845 with the priming system which cycled a small mercury fulminate charge to a percussion cap. This invention turned out to be successful, and the United States Federal Government offered a dollar per weapon to produce them using his method. By 1855 all 1855 model .58 caliber military rifles and carbines were using Maynard's method. In 1851 Maynard patented a breech-loading rifle.
The predecessor to this rifle, the Model 1873, was the first Maynard with standard chambering for centerfire metallic cartridges. These rifles could easily be converted to rimfire by simply adding the Hadley’s Patent device to the breech.
The overall condition is very good. Some original finish is preserved. Stock and forend are in very good shape and remain solid. Well-defined checkering on the wrist and forend. Excellent action. Bright bore with sharp rifling. Markings are worn but remain mostly legible.
