U.S. Model 1803 Harpers Ferry Rifle Converted to Percussion

Description:
These are reported to be the Lewis & Clark Western Exploring Expedition rifles. This one was manufactured between 1803 and 1806, based on the 33 1/8 inch barrel. Those manufactured after 1813 had a 36 inch barrel. This piece was converted to the drum and nipple style conversion. It was probably converted by AT Baxter of Baltimore, MD as the lock used is so marked and is an excellent fit to the gun. Baxter was a well-known gunsmith and rifle maker in Baltimore in the period 1830 to 1850. The overall condition of the wood and metal are extremely fine. The barrel has been freshened to 60 Cal. A nice example of a very rare gun. US only - no International sales. Buyer pays $30.00 shipping. Three day inspection allowed if returned UNALTERED. Antique – no FFL required. If your state requires an FFL for antiques, you should call 251-510-5007 before buying. Must be 21 years of age to purchase. Any weapon you plan to shoot should be inspected by a competent gunsmith before firing. Give us a call 251-510-5007 or email us at jimconfederateordinance for more information.
