Mid-1800s Antique J. YOUNG Half Stock Percussion HOMESTEAD/HUNTING Rifle Curly Maple GAME GETTING Rifle w/SET TRIGGER

Description:
Mid-1800s Antique J. YOUNG Half Stock Percussion HOMESTEAD/HUNTING Rifle

Curly Maple GAME GETTING Rifle w/SET TRIGGER

Here we present an antique J. Young Half Stock Percussion Rifle made circa the Mid-1800s. James Young was a known maker of half stock percussion rifles working out of Michigan City. 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.

This example’s stout octagonal barrel is in .45 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 of the maker’s names of these percussion rifles have been lost over time. This is one such example.

The overall condition is very good. Some parts have been reworked/refinished. Excellent action. Smooth dark brown original patina. The bore is in very good shape for its age with visible rifling. The maple striped stock is in very good shape with minimal evidence of wear. Markings are sharp.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 39-1/2 inches.

Caliber: .45 Percussion

Overall condition as seen in photos.
