QUINTESSENTIAL Frontier Rifle

Full-Stock Kentucky Rifle Circa 1850s

Here we present an antique American Full-Stock Kentucky style Long Rifle, made circa the 1850s. Rifle manufacture in the mid-to-late 19th Century was rapidly changing over from thousands of craftsman 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. Many makers’ names of the so-called Kentucky long rifles have been lost over time and some were never marked at all. This rifle is one such example.

This rifle is all business with a small patchbox mounted into the plain maple stock. Heavy octagonal barrel. No markings or engraving. Brass furniture. Double set triggers. This would have been a great rifle for small to medium game in the mid-19th Century.

The overall condition is good. The iron parts are an even plum color. There are no noticeable markings on the exterior. The maple stock is dark in colors and remains in good condition, with just the slightest fracture at the point of the toe. The bore is in good condition with good rifling and an untouched layer of dust. The action remains strong. Double set triggers still work!

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

Barrel is 39-3/4 inches.

Caliber: .34 (about .345 from land to land)

Overall condition as seen in photos.
