IRON MOUNTED SOUTHERN Antique LONG RIFLE Smoothbore .49 Caliber HUNTING/HOMESTEAD Long Rifle!
Description: IRON MOUNTED SOUTHERN Antique LONG RIFLE Smoothbore .49 Caliber HUNTING/HOMESTEAD Long Rifle! Here we present an antique Southern Style Long Rifle with Iron Hardware, made circa the mid-19th Century. This one features a nicely grained maple stock and a long, smoothbore barrel in .49 caliber. 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 American Long Rifle, more commonly, but less correctly, known as the ‘Kentucky rifle’, was described by Captain John G. W. Dillin in the dedication to his seminal 1924 book, The Kentucky Rifle: “From a flat bar of soft iron, hand forged into a gun barrel; laboriously bored and rifled with crude tools; fitted with a stock hewn from a maple tree in the neighboring forest; and supplied with a lock hammered to shape on the anvil; an unknown smith, in a shop long since silent, fashioned a rifle which changed the whole course of world history; made possible the settlement of a continent; and ultimately freed our country of foreign domination. Light in weight; graceful in line; economical in consumption of powder and lead; fatally precise; distinctly American; it sprang into immediate popularity; and for a hundred years was a model often slightly varied but never radically changed.” The overall condition is good. The action functions. The bore is smooth and dark. Nice grain in the stock. A rudimentary but perfectly functional piece of equipment from the 19th Century! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 39-1/2 inches. Caliber: .49 Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1575 #20839 SOLD Antique: Yes |
