Description: 1860s Antique SLOTTER & CO. Half Stock Percussion HOMESTEAD/HUNTING Rifle GAME GETTING .41 Caliber with DOUBLE SET TRIGGER Here we present an antique Slotter & Company Half Stock Percussion Rifle made circa the 1860s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Slotter & Company was a Philadelphia manufacturer known for supplying guns to A.J. Plate in San Franscisco, California. 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. Original darkened patina. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its has, has darkened with serviceable rifling.
