REMINGTON CONTRACT M1841 MISSISSIPPI RIFLE WITH BAYONET.

REMINGTON CONTRACT M1841 MISSISSIPPI RIFLE WITH BAYONET. SN NSN. Cal. 58. This Model 1841 Mississippi rifle started out life as .54 Cal. but was bored to .58 Cal. for the Civil War and fitted with an iron bayonet adapter and an 1861 dated Mississippi bayonet. Bayonet is numbered “1966” and adapter is numbered “2303” and they fit well. Gun has distinct multi-groove rifling which is still very good and well defined. This is a nice example of a Civil War converted rifle in great condition with good crisp markings as can be seen in photos. This particular gun has a Remington marked lockplate dated 1849 and an 1850 dated bbl. It is thought that Remington made their locks in advance as many 1849 dated locks are found with various 1850’s dated bbls on this contract of 10,000 guns (1850-1854). CONDITION: Overall very good. Metal is gray/brown, cleaned and varnished with scattered staining and pitting. Bore is very good with crisp rifling. Lock is smooth and gray with good markings, scattered staining and pitting. Brass mounts have been cleaned and varnished with scattered small nicks and scratches. Stock is sound and solid, sanded and varnished with scattered abrasions, dings, dents and scratches. Bayonet very good overall. Its 25″ blade is gray/white with scattered areas of staining and pitting. 1861 date is discernible as is SN in brass. 4-38703 JS110 (2,500-3,500)
