Description:
Antique MID-19th CENTURY Half-Stock .36 Cal. Percussion American LONG RIFLE

With T. & C. NEAVE of CINCINNATI Marked Lock

Here we present an antique Half Stock Percussion Long Rifle, made circa the mid-1840s. Its stout 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.

Thompson and Charles Neave (T & C) were makers of gun locks and supplied gunsmiths in the Ohio area as well as out west during the westward expansion. Like many other lockmakers, they also made percussion bolsters, nipples, triggers and other accessory items. T. & C. Neave was active from the early 1840s through 1849 when it became T. Neave & Son who was active in Cincinnati from 1849 through 1860.

The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Solid stock with light wear, contains various repairs and does not have a buttplate. Legible markings. Lightly engraved locks.
