Description:
THIS PEABODY RIFLE IS SERIAL # 100390 AND HAS AN 1862 PATENT DATE ON THE RECIEVER. MY RESEARCH INDICATES IT IS AN 1868 "SPANISH" MODEL PROBABLY MANUFACTURED CIRCA 1869. I BELIEVE IT IS CHAMBERED FOR A 56-50 RIMFIRE CARTRIDGE AND THE BORE MICS OUT TO APPROXIMATELY .508 AT THE MUZZLE. IT IS IN GOOD MECHANICAL CONDITION AND FUNCTIONS WELL. THE BORE IS FAIR WITH PITTING BUT USABLE RIFLING SO IT SHOULD SHOOT WELL. THESE RIFLES HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO CENTERFIRE BUT I CAN'T FIND A CENTERFIRE BREECHBLOCK. PROVIDENCE TOOL COMPANY IN MICHIGAN SUPPOSEDLY MAKES THEM. THE FINISH HAS ALL GONE BROWN. THE ACTION IS TIGHT AND LOCKS UP SECURELY AND HAS BEEN DISASSEMBLED AND LUBED. THE REAR LADDER SIGHT FUNCTIONS. STOCK IS ORIGINAL WITH TWO OLD SMALL SPLITS AT THE RECEIVER END OF THE FORE END AND SOME MISSING WOOD ON THE BOTTOM OF THE WRIST ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ACTION. THE WRIST DAMAGE MUST BE OLD AS THE COLORS MATCH THE REST OF THE BUTSTOCK. IT IS ALSO MISSING ONE BUTTPLATE SCREW.
SHIPPING IS $75 FULLY INSURED VIA MY FFL NO FEDERAL PAPERWORK AS IT IS AN ANTIQUE
