1862 DATED RICHMOND RIFLE-MUSKET.

1862 DATED RICHMOND RIFLE-MUSKET. This gun appears an all orig., authentic, and unaltered 1862 dated Richmond Musket. So many 1862 Richmond’s were iron mounted, such as this one utilizing left over Harpers Ferry parts. This gun has a Richmond made stock, Bbl, lock and hammer, nosecap, bands, an unsurcharged buttplate are probably left over from captured Harpers Ferry stock. Stock has good red hues so often seen on Richmond stocks. This is a good, orig. example, unaltered, though there has been a reproduction ramrod added, and gun is missing rear sight, rear sling swivel, and lock screw. CONDITION: Gun overall is fair to good. Bbl is brown/gray overall, large areas of pitting, especially around breech. Bore is heavily shot, but still retains traces of orig. rifling. Stock is sound and solid with 1crack which has been repaired in front of lock extending about 4″. There are a couple of hairline cracks in buttstock. Stock has seen hard use, and has lost most of its sharp edges which are now rounded. There is a gap between bottom of lock and stock where sear drops and “wallows” out this space. This is often seen in Richmond muskets as this falling sear must have been a design flaw in Richmond locks. 4-44120 JS101 (4,000-6,000)
