CIVIL WAR Antique AUSTRIAN Model 1842 Percussion Conversion RIFLED CARBINE
UNION and CONFEDERATE Import TUBE LOCK Conversion
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique AUSTRIAN Model 1842 Percussion Conversion RIFLED CARBINE UNION and CONFEDERATE Import TUBE LOCK Conversion Here we present an antique Percussion Conversion Austrian Model 1842 Rifled Carbine, made in 1852 in Austria. These muskets are known to have been imported to the United States and to the Confederacy during the American Civil War. At least 25,000 of the Austrian tube-lock muskets were purchased by the U.S. Ordnance Department during the Civil War. These muskets were originally made using the “tube lock” mechanism, essentially a very distinct percussion conversion of a flintlock gun, that was more aimed at saving money and not having to retrain an entire army than being state of the art. They were not long after considered obsolete, but the American Civil War created demand for even what was considered old technology and the Austrians were happy to be paid for their old stock. Before being exported they were converted from the tube-lock system to the more conventional percussion system via several different methods, as is this example, and many were also fitted with ramrods since the Austrian Cavalry carried theirs on their person. This example is fitted with a ramrod. The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. This example sports a solid stock with an expected amount of wear. An “S” is marked on the stock to the left of the trigger guard. “852” is marked on the lock. “4E/100” is marked on the buttplate tang. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 14-1/2 inches. Caliber: .72 percussion 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 $1800 #228576 SOLD Antique: Yes |
