HEAVY HALF STOCK PERCUSSION UNMARKED TARGET RIFLE.

Cal. 60. 52-1/2″ overall. 4-1/2″ x 1-5/8″ buttplate. 37″ full oct unsigned rifled bbl. This rifle with it’s large Cal. is the sort considered to be a “plains type” target rifle. It’s engraved percussion lock is unsigned and there is a iron capbox in the stock. The gull wing cheekpiece might suggest New York State manufacture. The bbl tang extends 6-1/2″ over the wrist to stabilize a bad break in the wrist area. The rifle has double set triggers. CONDITION: Stock is in very poor condition with massive metal repairs stabilizing the underside of the forend. The gun was totally broken through at the wrist and the toe at the butt is broken. Inlays around the bbl pins on the right hand side are missing or damaged. The bbl has been cut about 10″. Based on condition this gun is not terribly desirable but it is a good historic example of a plains type rifle that shows evidence of really having been heavily used, if it could only talk. 4-55355 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 1514
