ENGRAVED Antique J. WRIGHT Half Stock Percussion HOMESTEAD/HUNTING Rifle

.50 Caliber GAME GETTING Rifle w/ “C. BAKER” Lock

Here we present an antique J. Wright Marked Half Stock Percussion Rifle made circa the 1850s. The location for J. Wright is unknown, though the Wright family of gunmakers were scattered across New York and Massachusetts. 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. Strong action. The bore is clear and smooth. The stock has a few minor repairs and cracks but is very good overall. Markings are legible. The barrel is inscribed “J. Wright”. The front rod lug has been soldered on. This example is lightly engraved. Dark brown patina. “C. BAKER” marked lock.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 39-3/8 inches.

Caliber: .50 Percussion

Overall condition as seen in photos.
