ANTIQUE RARE FRENCH CHASSEPOT M 1866 NEEDLE MILITARY RIFLE with BAYONET. NO FFL.
Description: I'm selling my collection. Here is a Rare Antique Rare Imperial French Chassepot Model 1866 Needle Battle Military rifle. Antique FFL is not required. It's chambered in 11mm same caliber as the later first modern Gras cartridge. Manufactured in 1869 in the Imperial factory of Mutzig, with all the military approval markings. Scarcely found in such excellent condition, with a 32.1/2" barrel with excellent bore with sharp rifling. Serial numbers are not matching on the barrel and bolt as they rarely do since the 5 main Arsenal government factories produced industrially for all its firearms to precise interchangeable specifications for each parts. For an extra $135 It will come with its Yatagan impressive saber bayonet . Comes with its cleaning rod. The metal & wood have been cleaned and brushed minor marks, all is accurately photographed. The finish is in the white. The action is firm and smooth, the original needle is still there, i would recommand if you pan to shoot it to change the the needle with a new one as they are available on some sites. All other Chassepot rifles were later in 1874 irremediatly modified to shoot the modern black powder Gras cartridge then named the model 1866 modified 74. This rifle was fortunatly preserved in its original needle system condition. Those Chassepot took an active part in the civil war in Paris of 1871 where the "Commune" the communards were crushed by the legitimist goverment troup of Versailles (15 kilometers away where the goverment was sieging) Ragging battles, sommery executions made over 350.000 victims in a 9 months period when the famish parisians had to eat cats and dogs... Those are fun to shoot and very accurate with its 32.5" long barrel with black powder needle loads showing original packs on the pictures, not for sale. Please don't ask for extra pictures. Buyer is responsible for knowing all laws pertaining to this transaction. $1,100 + $95 insured shipping to your door, payable by cashier check, P.M.O or credit card with the usual charging fee.
