CONFEDERATE NORTH CAROLINA RIFLE.

SN 405. .58 cal. This gun, just consigned from New Jersey, is new to the market and appears all original, complete and authentic in every regard. This gun most likely was made by Mendenhall, Jones & Gardner of Greensboro, NC. MJ&G was one of the larger North Carolina makers and according to Madaus & Murphy’s ‘Confederate Rifles & Muskets’ delivered about 2,300 guns to the state of North Carolina. This gun conforms to what Madaus & Murphy refer to as a type-two MJ & G rifle. Characteristics of this rifle and other type-twos are .58 cal., 33″ round bbl with 7 lands and grooves, brass 2-piece trigger guard, flat brass bbl bands retained by band springs each stamped with “U” on top, brass nose cap, iron ramrod with long, tapered flared end and iron butt-plate. This gun has no external markings other than a small ‘NC’ stamped between rear sight and bolster. Internally, gun has matching assembly number ‘134’ on breech plug and lock and serial number ‘405’ is found stamped on hammer, lock-plate, bbl and penciled on bbl mortise of stock. CONDITION: Gun is good to very good overall. Appears original and authentic throughout. Metal has all been cleaned and has a gray/white color with pitting. Stock has been refinished with numerous small dings and dents. Forestock has two long hairline cracks with one small splintered area on left side of stock about 1″ long. There is a large 2″ or 3″ crack on rear toe of buttplate and several burned areas around buttplate as can be seen in photos. The accompanying leather sling is sound and solid though highly scuffed and appears to be of a later vintage than gun. 4-49253 JS171 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 2276
