Back to Index 





"TARGET PERCUSSION RIFLE. SN None. Cal. About 46. Wonderful heavy bench rifle "Slug Gun" with 32-3/4" heavy oct bbl, 1-3/8" diameter at the muzzle with false muzzle/bullet starter. There is a screw hole in the bottom flat, near the muzzle which was probably for a leveling foot or bar. Left top flat at breech end has the maker's name and the top flat has the dovetail front base for the 37-1/2" micrometer adjustable telescope with spider web crosshairs. Top rear flat is also mounted with modern target scope bases and right side has a scalloped nipple shield with large brass cleanout plug. The bbl is mounted in a metal breech secured with a tapered pin. It has a long top tang with a narrow tapered back-action lock and a fancy finger rest, serpentine trigger guard/grip. It has functioning dbl set triggers and is mounted with nicely figured straight grain uncheckered American walnut with semi-crescent smooth brass buttplate. Accompanied by a wooden box containing a variety of miscellaneous tools for this rifle including a brass 2-pc bullet starter, a homemade brass & steel nipple wrench, a fine bullet swedge and a homemade brass body picket ball mold with attached sprue cutter. Also included are four tins of caps, a bar of lead, a spare nipple, a very early strip of gunner's lead marked "BLATCHFORD & CO CHICAGO". There are also two blocks for bullets, one for 40-rds and the other for 45-rds. Also included are several truly exceptional targets that indicate shooting from 110 yards with most all targets having five shots under 1". Weight: 23 lbs. 13.44 oz. CONDITION: Fine to very fine.  Bbl & scope tube retain an even plum blue finish with a couple of rust pits on the left side flat.  Lockplate & hammer retain a blue/brown patina and the trigger guard smoky case colors.  Buttplate is a dark mustard patina.  Optics are a little clouded with some miscellaneous trash but seem to be functional.   4-32150 JR440 (4,000-6,000)"
