Description:
An American fullstock plains percusssion rifle, .48 cal, 37'' octagon barrel with a moderately oxidized smooth bore. The barrel is an overall deep plum brown patina showing a few minor handling marks here and there and some tool marks near the rear ahead of the breech, showing moderate pitting in the cap splash area around the nipple barrel; it features a simple brass blade front sight and flattop top v-notch rear. The lockplate shows some light engraving front and rear with an engraved pheasant and fence post scene, with a bit of engraving on the hammer, much of the engraving on both has been lost to pitting. There is a brass nosecap, simple thimbles and tailpipe and a simple brass triggerguard with a faceted buttplate, simple toeplate and pendulum style patchbox. The American walnut stock rates very good as lightly cleaned years ago leaving the edges soft, showing a couple of chips at pin holes, a minor crack or two here and there, a thin 13'' sliver missing along the right front of the forend and a neat scant little left side square-bottomed cheekpiece. The lock does not currently hold on-cock and the inletting does not fit the stock perfectly, there being a gap along its bottom edge. The arm is equipped with double set triggers which do function properly, there is quite a bit of scorching and wood loss at the stock just right of the tang to the rear of the nipple barrel as-is often seen on a percussion arm which put meat on the table for a long period of time. An attractive long sporting rifle for above the mantel. When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
