CIVIL WAR Contract COLT Special M1861 Rifle-MUSKET840
Description: CIVIL WAR Contract COLT Special M1861 Rifle-MUSKET “1863” Dated Lock Here we present an antique Civil War Colt Special Contract Model 1861 Percussion Rifle-Musket, produced in 1863 at the Colts Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut. Production began in September of 1862 while the war was in full swing. The Union was still trying to make up for arms shortages and the destruction of Harpers Ferry Armory with production at Springfield, supplementing this with contracts with over 20 other contractors, like Colt, for rifle-muskets. The American Civil War raged from April 12, 1861 to May 9, 1865 in which roughly 130,000 Special Model 1861 muskets were produced by Colt for the US government. Like the Springfield production of the Model 1861, the Colt could be considered the “everyman’s” infantry weapon. The overall condition is fair. The iron parts have a dark patina. The markings are clear. The butt plate and the nose cap are absent from the stock as is the ramrod. The bore is untouched and defined rifling is visible under a thick layer of dust. The action is not currently functional. Nevertheless, here is a historical Civil War musket by Colt that could be yours! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 40 inches. Caliber: .58 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. ancestryguns $1110 #8401 SOLD Antique: Yes |
