NICE Antique L. KIBELE Half Stock .32 Percussion OHIO/HOMESTEAD Rifle 1800s
Mid-1800s GAME GETTING Rifle w/SET TRIGGER
Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique L. Kibele Half Stock Percussion Rifle made circa the Mid-1800s made in Buffington, Ohio. Louis Kibele (1861-1942) operated out of Ohio, often inside of a partnership with Andrew Klay. The percussion rifle was a type of rifle that utilized the percussion lock mechanism to fire a bullet or musket ball. The Percussion lock mechanism was an evolution of the flintlock mechanism used on earlier muskets and rifles, with the percussion rifle being introduced somewhere around 1820. The percussion rifle had a slight advantage when it came to rate of fire over its flintlock counterparts. The use of a percussion cap reduced the reloading time, meaning the average number of shots per minute would consistently fall between three and four per minute. The percussion lock was also very reliable in wet conditions, and the reverse is true for the flintlocks with the primer not being affected by having water in contact with it, while the powder was virtually incapable of being exposed to water.
This example’s stout octagonal barrel is in .32 caliber, large enough to take small to medium sized game or to defend the homestead against unwanted aggression. Rifle manufacture in the mid-to-late 19th Century was rapidly changing over from thousands of craftsmen all over the United States and on the Frontier making and selling their wares, to the large factories with standardized assembly lines and modern manufacturing techniques.
This rifle would have also been used to put food on the table or defend the homestead against unwanted intruders!
The overall condition is good. Original smooth and dark patina. The hammer does not sit in either half or full cock. The set trigger functions (must be fully depressed). Good bore for its age. This example sports a solid stock that remains in very good shape showing minimal handling wear and a spherical dent on the right buttstock. Markings are legible. “B.G.” is marked on the left sideplate. Lightly engraved lock. Matching signatures on the barrel and lock.
