Description:
Mid-1800s Antique MUSGRAVE PITTSBURGH .36 Percussion PENNSYLVANIA LONG RIFLE

Kentucky Style HUNTING/HOMESTEAD Long Rifle

Here we present an antique William Musgrave Half Stock Percussion Long Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Its octagonal barrel is in .36 caliber, large enough to take small to medium 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. Dark patina throughout. The action is strong. The bore is dark and untouched with worn rifling. Restocked. The wood shows minor handling and is solid throughout. Both the trigger guard and the barrel tang show brazed repairs.

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

Barrel is 41 inches.

Caliber: .36 Percussion
