Description: 1829 Dated 1 of 7,200 SIMEON NORTH U.S. Model 1817 Flintlock “COMMON” Rifle .54 Caliber Rifle Contracted by Simeon North Here we present an antique U.S. Model 1817 “Common Rifle” from the Simeon North Contract, made in 1829 in Middletown, Connecticut. The M1817 common rifle (also known as the Deringer M1817 rifle) issued due to the Dept. of Ordnance's order of 1814, produced and used from the 1820s to 1840s at the American frontier. The 36-inch barrel was rifled for .54 caliber balls. For rifling it had seven grooves. Like the Model 1814, it had a large oval patchbox in the buttstock. Many of these were used during the American Civil War, especially in the early days of the conflict when military weapons were hard to come by. After producing the Model 1814 common rifle through contractors, the military decided to do the same with the Model 1817. The Harper's Ferry Arsenal produced a pattern weapon, which was then taken to gunsmiths to be copied. The rifle was built by Henry Deringer of Philadelphia (13,000 made), Nathan Starr & Co. of Middleton, Conn. (10,200 made), Simeon North of Middleton, Conn. (7,200 made), R. Johnson of Middleton, Conn. (5,000 made), R. & J. D. Johnson of Middleton, Conn. (3,000 made). The overall condition is good. Reconverted to flintlock. The action is strong. The bore is dim with strong rifling. The stock shows use, there is some minor splitting and a thin spot just forward of the trigger guard. Otherwise solid. Comes with a couple primitive looking tools in the patch box. Faint inspector cartouche on the left stock flat and clear inspector markings on the barrel. Comes with a canvas sling in good condition. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 36 inches. Caliber: .54 Flintlock 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 $2800 #244112 Price: $2,800.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
