Description:
Mid-1800s Antique AMERICAN Half Stock Percussion HOMESTEAD/HUNTING Rifle

GAME GETTING .50 Caliber Rifle with ASHMORE LOCK

Here we present an antique Percussion Rifle 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.

The overall condition is good. Mottled bright gray/brown original patina. Strong action. The bore is smooth and semi-bright. The stock is in very good condition, showing a stable crack at the left stock flat but otherwise solid throughout. Drilled and tapped barrel tang. Markings are worn on the lock. The barrel wedge is seated loosely. Brass trigger guard, patchbox and buttplate.

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

Barrel is 34-1/4 inches.

Caliber: .50 Percussion

Overall condition as seen in photos.
