Guns International #: 103619525   |  Seller's Inventory #: 2058C
Jenks Carbine Made By N.P. Ames Co.

Description:
This is a 54-Caliber side hammer breech loading carbine a.k.a. “Mule Ear.” It has an oval loading port and a 24 ¼” barrel. The top of the breech is marked Cast Steel and above it the date 1847 above that P above that RP and above that U.S.N. above that W. Jenks. The inside of the loading lever is number 539. With the oval loading port, a paper cartridge with ball and powder could be loaded much quicker than the round ball and loose powder. The mechanical function is very good and tight. The barrel at the muzzle end is pitted but the rifling is very strong and the rest of the bore is bright and shiny.
I would consider trades for pre 1899 ANTIQUE PISTOLS and rifles on any of my items.. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO TRADE? Ask about our 30-90 day lay-away program. We accept Bank Check, Money order, Personal checks or wire transfer.
