Antique J. SITES LONG RIFLE .34 ARROW ROCK, MISSOURI SANTA FE TRAIL WESTWARD EXPANSION Mid-1800s HALF STOCK
Description: Antique J. SITES LONG RIFLE .34 ARROW ROCK, MISSOURI SANTA FE TRAIL WESTWARD EXPANSION Mid-1800s HALF STOCK Here we present an antique J. Sites Long Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century in Arrow Rock, Missouri. John Sites, Sr., was a German immigrant who moved to Boonville, Missouri in 1834 where he owned and operated a gunsmith shop. His son, John Sites, Jr. opened a gunsmith shop very close to his father’s shop in Arrow Rock, Missouri in 1844. At the time, Arrow Rock was an important waypoint on the Santa Fe trail, and was poised to serve the same purpose on the Oregon and California trails. Sites guns have been found in several western locations, including California, Oregon, Montana, and New Mexico. John Sites Jr.’s home and gunshop are still in Arrow Rock and are recognized as “Historical Sites” in this small town nestled in central Missouri right on the Missouri River. John Sites Jr. was born in 1821 and died in 1904. After the American Civil War, he was more of a gunsmith and retailer than a gunmaker. Its octagonal barrel is chambered in .34 caliber, large enough to take small to medium sized game or to defend the homestead against unwanted aggression. Double set triggers. Handsome engraved German silver hardware and décor throughout, including the patchbox and the squirrel ornament on the cheek piece on the left side of the stock. Rifle manufacture in the mid-to-late 19th Century was rapidly changing over from thousands of craftsmen all over the United States and on the Frontier making and selling their wares, to the large factories with standardized assembly lines and modern manufacturing techniques. The overall condition is good. Clear maker’s mark on the top of the barrel. The action will cock but eventually slips out of the cock notch, probably the result of a weakened sear spring. The bore is untouched with worn rifling. The stock is solid. A handsome rifle from 19th Century Missouri Santa Fe Trail! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 37-1/4 inches. Caliber: .34 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 $2600 #230886 SOLD Antique: Yes |
