UNIDENTIFIED BOLT ACTION CARBINE. Cal. 54. SN 8. 22″ rnd bbl. This appears to be a primitive version of the Palmer Carbine with interrupted thread locks at the rear of the bolt and a notch at the front for the hammer nose to strike through. It also has a push button lock on the top of the wrist of the stock. The saddle ring bar has been removed from the large iron counterplate. There are several patents similar to this but it appears closest to the Mellen, qv. The sights are rudimentary. CONDITION: Gray patina with light pitting overall except buttplate, which has heavy crusty rust. Stock has many chips and gouges but is still solid. Action is fine. Troy Collection 4-52034 FS300 (1,500-2,000)
