Description:
LAYAWAY?.......serial #13644, .50 Cal., 22” barrel with a mostly bright bore showing some shallow pitting near the breech with excellent rifling. The iron surfaces have toned to a brown patina with some casehardening remaining on the internal components with light pitting around the nipple. The metal markings remain crisp and legible, the saddle ring and sling bar are intact and the action functions well mechanically. The walnut buttstock rates very good+ with original finish showing typical small impact marks and abrasions with some minor chipping around the rear sling bar mount. The iron buttplate and patch box are nicely fitted with no overlap, the patch box containing a spare nipple. The toe line of the stock displays in faded block letters “Gallagher’s - Civil War”, likely from spending time in a display setting, the left side of the butt showing a barely legible lightly scratched inscription appearing to be a 19th century date with a soldier’s initials. A nice SOLID example of this Civil War carbine, one of approximately 18,000 purchased by the Union that proved unpopular with the troops. Cartridge extraction required the use of a knife tip or other pry tool, problematic when fighting on horseback. THE BORE IS VG-FINE, AND SHOULD CLEAN EVEN BETTER
