Description:
Mid-1800s Antique JOHN REIN Half Stock .40 Percussion TARGET/HUNTING Rifle

NEW YORK .40 Caliber GAME GETTING Homestead Rifle

Here we present an antique John Rein Half Stock Percussion Target Rifle made circa the mid-1800s in New York, New York. Rein was a known gunmaker between the years of 1863 to 1875 and known for making “Fancy” Schuetzen rifles. 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 .40 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.

The overall condition is good. Original, smooth dark brown patina. The stock is solid with a repaired forend, containing stable cracks. The forend cap is not attached, but is included. The action is robust. Legible markings. The bore is bright with strong rifling.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 32-5/8 inches.

Caliber: .40 Percussion

Overall condition as seen in photos.
