Every once in a while, one comes across a truly amazing find. This is one of those times. I have come across a Civil War Era Rifle in exceptional condition.
Here is a .40 cal. Full Stocked, Curley Maple Rifle. The particulars are.
Overall Length, 59 inches
Barrel Length, 43 inches
Trigger Pull, 14 inches
15/16ths across the flats
7 Lands, 7 Groves, Slow Twist for patch and ball.
Weight 9 pounds 5 oz.
Double Set Triggers

The Rifle has a Full Length, Excellent, Curley Maple Stock. Bore measures .3995, or .40 cal. and is in amazing condition for its age.
The Double Set Triggers are of the type where you set the rear trigger then cock the hammer. There is no Half Cock.
There is no Butt Plate and the shoulder curve is well used. The stock has numerous repairs which are extremely well done.
The stock is solid with not play or cracking around the repairs or inletting. This rifle is all original, even the ramrod and nipple.
Completely cleaned and checked over by me. This rifle is outstanding and fully functional. Ready for its next proud owner.
This Rifle is available for the very reasonable price of $995.00 + $29.95 shipping lower 48.
