1853 Harpers Ferry, need a little help

[AJ100]

I might be able to purchase an 1853 Harpers Ferry rifle in the next few days. I have the rifle now and can post pictures but didn't want to do that until I found out if it was OK to ask for help on this site.

Thanks,
AJ

Welcome to the forum... Ask away and we love pictures.

That's what we're here for. To answer questions and to look at pictures. :grin:

Posting pictures here isn't as easy as some web sites because you must use a web Photo storage site like Photobucket.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I will take some pics tomorrow morning in the dayligt. If we have any here in PA.

I have learned a LITTLE bit about these rifles and will post all the specs I can with the pics.

Thanks Again,
AJ

If it is as you say an 1853 Harpers Ferry rifle it will be an 1841 Mississippi Rifle which was manufactured at Harpers Ferry from 1841 to 1855.

I have moved my inquiry over to the ID section.

Now that you are over here how about those photos? hotoSmile: Mississippies usually bring quite a substantial price even in rough condition.

At Zonie's suggestion I moved the request to the ID section. I put the one picture up and the LINK to the other photos. I tried clicking on the LINK and my photobucket slideshow comes up. If you don't mind can you try it and let me know if it is working OK.

Thanks, AJ
