RICHMOND ASSEMBLED RIFLE. SN NSN. Cal. 58. This heavily pitted, untouched gun has well patinaed, Richmond brass nosecap, Richmond pinched front sight, and other Springfield and Richmond parts. Ramrod, which fits gun nicely, is blacksmith forged. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “ In addition to the production of new rifled muskets, musketoons, rifles, and carbines, Richmond repaired an unknown total number of rifled muskets, many of which were undoubtedly the gleanings of battlefields left in the possession of Confederate troops. A certain number of these Richmond repaired weapons may be conclusively identified as having been repaired at Richmond. All share the same characteristics. In each case, the barrel has been shortened from 40” to 33” with the addition of a new front sight of the wide base pinched form used on the Richmond rifle and rifled carbine. The front barrel has been removed leaving only the original rear and middle barrel. The shortened forestock has been given a brass nosecap. Most of these rifles show hard usage, into battle, lost, recovered, repaired, and reissued. They are all true “veterans” of the war. Model 1863/61. A gun with character, well used with a tin wrist repair nailed in place. All parts heavily rusted, but overall giving a great, “out of the barn” look.” CONDITION: All iron parts are brown/black and heavily pitted. Rifling in bore is very good, though pitted. Stock has numerous dings and scratches. Old wrist repair, as described above, is solid and matches overall condition of gun. 4-31260 JS164 (4,000-6,000)
