"FAYETTEVILLE ALTERATION OF A HALL CARBINE. SN NSN. Cal. 52. Mr. Michel, in his notes, describes this carbine as follows: "Alteration to percussion and carbine length of a Model 1819 Hall rifle. Breechblock is marked "J. Hall / H. Ferry / U.S / 1834", which is typical of Fayetteville alterations. Breechblock has the frizzen removed and the flintlock hammer replaced with a percussion hammer with knurling on the hammer spur. A nipple has been screwed into the area of the former pan. The bbl has been cut to a length of some 22-3/4" and the forestock shortened accordingly. It is held by the orig rear and middle bands, both being pin-fastened with the orig double-strap front band discarded. Trigger guard bow is retained, but the hand grip curving strap of the orig rifle is replaced by a strap following the contour of the stock. Edges of the stock appear to have been thinned and smoothed. This gun is illustrated inConfederate Carbines & Musketoons by John Murphy, p.99, plates 108-109." CONDITION: Metal surfaces are gray with scattered pitting and staining. Multi-grooved Hall rifling is very good. Stock is sound with a 2" chip missing at muzzle and a 9" x 1/2" sliver missing below frame on left side exposing the mechanism. There is also a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" repair to top of buttstock just behind frame. 4-31287(5,000-7,000)"
