RICHMOND ASSEMBLED RIFLE.

RICHMOND ASSEMBLED RIFLE. SN NSN. Cal. 58. This Richmond assembled rifle used various Springfield parts, including 1863 clamping bands and 1861 Springfield lock and iron nosecap. Springfield stock retains its U.S. surcharged buttplate. Bbl has had all proofmarks removed, but does exhibit the pinched front sight that is only found on Richmond rifles and carbines. Mr. Michel, in his notes, states, “Model 1863 (with clamping bands) stock with Model 1861 barrel with 1861-dated lockplate, all combined. Typical of the mixture of parts found on these Richmond reworked rifles made of battlefield-recovered parts of rifled muskets.” CONDITION: Bbl is cleaned with scattered pitting. Rear sight is Springfield, and it retains scattered finish under pitting. Cone and clean-out screw in bolster are replaced. Rifling is good. Ramrod is Springfield and is about 31″ long. Stock is solid with scattered nicks and scrapes and several wood putty repairs. 4-31259 JS163 (4,000-6,000)
