From a mid-west sale, a beautiful half stock Antique eastern style 40 caliber Percussion Rifle. The wood is a reddish brown and is aged to a uniform color with no cracks however, there are a few light dents and dings (see photos). The stock has a three piece patch box in good functional condition as well as several small star inlays (see photos) a brass nose cap and forend plate, 2 steel thimbles, brass trigger guard and crescent butt plate. The metal finish is a mottled brown patina with some oxidation (see photos). The gun is 50" over all length with a 34" barrel (What I can see of the bore looks dark....I have not cleaned this gun) the ram rod is absent. There is a fixed rear sight and a blade front sight. The trigger and lock function as they should. The lock is stamped HB (see photos). At the sale they said this rifle was made by the Hart family of gunsmiths who produced percussion sporting rifles in Frewsburg New York until 1859. I can not guarantee a gun this old will shoot however it appears, with a little freshening up, this gun could be back in the field or on the target range. Everything appears old and original to my untrained eye but since I have no way to guarantee the origins of this gun I am offering it with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, if it does not live up to your expectations in any way return it for a full and speedy refund including your return shipping (see my feedback). We trade guns. No reserve.
