Product Description
Mid-1800s Antique TRUXAL Half Stock .32 Percussion HOMESTEAD/HUNTING Rifle
Mid-1800s GAME GETTING Rifle w/SET TRIGGER
Here we present an antique S. Truxal Marked Percussion Rifle made circa the Mid-1800s. The percussion rifle was a type of rifle that utilized the percussion lock mechanism to fire a bullet or musket ball. The Percussion lock mechanism was an evolution of the flintlock mechanism used on earlier muskets and rifles, with the percussion rifle being introduced somewhere around 1820. The percussion rifle had a slight advantage when it came to rate of fire over its flintlock counterparts.
The use of a percussion cap reduced the reloading time, meaning the average number of shots per minute would consistently fall between three and four per minute. The percussion lock was also very reliable in wet conditions, and the reverse is true for the flintlocks with the primer not being affected by having water in contact with it, while the powder was virtually incapable of being exposed to water.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. A crack is present under the left stock screw and on the forend, both remain stable. Markings are legible. Original mottled dark brown patina. “M” is marked behind the trigger guard on the buttstock.
