This turn bolt action is similar to the Dreyse Patent Needlefire guns which came out of Prussia circa 1840. The Dreyse itself was a clear developmental step in firearms technology that perfected breech-loading design for now going on 200 years. This rifle was patented by Charles Hartung, a Prussian immigrant to New York—who assigned the patent to John B. Klein in 1849. The rifles were built by George P. Foster, himself known for the making of the Porter turret rifle and later the Bristol Firearms Company along with General Ambrose E. Burnside, which produced one of the more prolific of the many available cavalry carbines during the American Civil War./ this is a parts gun but has a almost mint bore // no rear sight/// $50 sh/ IF YOU HAVE A BOLT LETS DEAL //// 386 290 5646 Price: $789.00 Antique: Yes Manufacturer: klein Model: needle fire bolt action |
