1849 mfg. CIVIL WAR Antique REMINGTON Contract U.S. M1841 MISSISSIPPI Rifle Scarce .54 Caliber Rifle Used During the Civil War
Description: 1849 mfg. CIVIL WAR Antique REMINGTON Contract U.S. M1841 MISSISSIPPI Rifle Scarce .54 Caliber Rifle Used During the Civil War Here we present an antique U.S. Model 1841 “Mississippi” Rifle-Musket, made on contract by E. Remington in Herkimer, New York in 1849. Remington contracted with the U.S. Government for 20,000 rifles, delivered between 1846 and 1854. This mass-produced rifle was used extensively by Dragoons, Mounted Rifle Regiments, and U.S. Infantry “Regulars” prior to the Civil War. After the John Brown Raid on Harpers Ferry in October of 1859 the southern states demanded additional weapons. In December of that year, 10,000 Mississippi Rifles were sent to southern armories at the direction of the Secretary of War. These rifles saw extensive service for the south when war erupted in 1861. The Mississippi Rifle is so called because its service life included the Mexican-American War, during which Jefferson Davis (future president of the Confederacy) led his Mississippi troops, who carried and favored the rifle. It was a rugged and reliable weapon. The Model 1841 was originally made in .54 caliber, as is this example, but in the late 1850s a number were arsenal reconfigured to the larger .58 caliber Minié ball. Obviously, the Model 1841 was worth converting. Normally, a rifle that is converted is not worth quite as much, but those that were converted bucks that trend, probably due to its use by both sides during the American Civil War. Government arsenals that were in the Confederacy at the time of the rebellion had a number of these in them. The overall condition is good. The action is strong. The bore is dim with generally strong rifling, becoming thinner near the muzzle. The stock shows use and has been modestly refinished. It remains solid throughout. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 33 inches. Caliber: .54 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 $2500 #244372 SOLD Antique: Yes |
