Product Description
SOUTHERN Antique Full Stock Percussion LONG RIFLE .56 Caliber Large Bore
Circa 1840s Hunting/Homestead Long Rifle
Here we present an antique Southern Style Full Stock Long Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century. This is an example of what early Americans would have carried on the southeastern mountain regions and frontier in western Virginia, North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and across Kentucky. Its stout octagonal barrel is in .56 caliber, large enough to take medium to large sized game or to defend the homestead against unwanted aggression. Rifle manufacture in the mid-to-late 19th Century was rapidly changing over from thousands of craftsmen all over the United States and on the Frontier making and selling their wares, to the large factories with standardized assembly lines and modern manufacturing techniques. Many makers’ names of the so-called Kentucky long rifles have been lost over time. This rifle is one such example.
The overall condition is good. Fully patinated. The action is excellent. The bore is plum with worn rifling. The stock has been repaired throughout with grafts and fillers and is solid.
