CIVIL WAR/FRONTIER Antique U.S. BURNSIDE M1864 “5th Model” Percussion SRC
CAVALRY Saddle Ring Carbine BREECH LOADER
Description: CIVIL WAR/FRONTIER Antique U.S. BURNSIDE M1864 “5th Model” Percussion SRC CAVALRY Saddle Ring Carbine BREECH LOADER Here we present an antique U.S. Burnside Model 1864, also known as the Burnside 5th Model Carbine, made circa 1863 to 1865 by the Burnside Rifle Company in Providence, Rhode Island. General Ambrose Burnside was an official in the company before the war but was not involved in wartime development of the rifle. It employed a cone shaped metal cartridge for use in the percussion firing system. Though historical literature refers to a Model 1863, none are marked with this date and collectors have generally referred to this model as the 5th model. Approximately 43,000 carbines of this model were produced, with the serial numbers running from 1 through 43,000. There were 19,000 that featured the “Model 1864” stamped on the top of the breech, with later production reverting back to use the 1856 patent date. Standard features included an iron buttplate, a single iron barrel band, a saddle riding bar and ring on the left side, a strap hook on the bottom of the butt, a double hinged iron loading lever which also serves as a trigger guard, a hinged sight, and a chamber tapered for the unique Burnside metal cartridge with a priming hole in the bottom for percussion. The overall condition is good+. Some original blue finish with mostly gray patina. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. Two inspector cartouches remain visible on the left of the stock. The stock shows handling and remains solid. Numbers match. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 21 inches. Caliber: .54 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 $2350 #233973 SOLD Antique: Yes |
