ENGRAVED Antique AMERICAN Half Stock .40 Percussion HOMESTEAD/HUNTING Rifle

GAME GETTING Rifle w/W.H. BARNES/BOSTON Lock

Here we present an antique Engraved Half Stock Percussion Rifle with a W.H. Barnes/Boston lock made circa the mid-1800s. 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 medium to large 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. Many of the maker’s names of these percussion rifles have been lost over time. This is one such example.

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. Mottled dark and gray patinas. The stock is solid with a refinish and repair on the left flat. The action is strong. The bore is bright with strong rifling. Legible markings on the lock. Absent ramrod. Stable crack in the ramrod well. Nice rear peep!

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

Barrel is 32 inches.

Caliber: .40 Percussion

Overall condition as seen in photos.

Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail!

Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.
