JENNINGS PATENT FOUR SHOT MULTI CHARGE RIFLE.

JENNINGS PATENT FOUR SHOT MULTI CHARGE RIFLE. SN NSN. Cal. .54 rifled 36″ long bbl marked at left breech with “US”/”AH” (Asabel Hubbard)/ sunken “P” in a rosette. The unmarked sliding lock is complete with swivel priming powder magazine (cove missing). This rifle has the correct Model 1819 Common rifle iron butt plate, trigger guard, patch box and three bbl bands. Mechanism works well and has all three of the touch hole vent covers that also act as stops for the lock when moved from one shot position to the next shot position. The ramrod is of the correct type and matches the age of the rifle. The walnut stock is shaped like the Model 1819 rifle stock except there is no side plate and corresponding lock screws. The script “JM” (Justin Murphy) inspection mark is placed in the normal place opposite the lock. CONDITION: The bbl, lock and all the iron furniture is white and the stock is in excellent condition having one slight 3/8″ x ¼” chip opposite the lock, which does not detract from the guns overall appearance and the rifle is rated as very good plus to excellent. These arms were the result of Isaiah Jennings Patent dated September 2, 1821 that included his automatic priming. Only 520 were produced for the State of New York when they asked for these rifles in lieu of their apportionment of arms under their Militia Act of 1808 in the year 1828. The Ordnance Department contracted with Reuben Ellis a fellow New Yorker to produce them, but they were actually produced in Middletown, Connecticut by Robert & John D. Johnson with the help of Simeon North for sure who probably produced the locks. All 520 rifles were delivered and rarely do these come up for sale. 4-46107 PAS6 (12,000-17,000)
