Original U.S. Large Bore Half-Stocked Percussion Hunting Rifle with Set Trigger and Lock by Atkinson - circa 1845 Military Maps Not currently operational

Not currently operational

still showing some rifling but also a lot of fouling and oxidation

This helmet is a fine example and still retains all of its original WW2 parts and the shell has all original "corked" grain paint

as the armory was not yet officially under CSA control

which is a marking we were not able to identify

Original U.S. Large Bore Half-Stocked Percussion Hunting Rifle with Set Trigger and Lock by Atkinson - circa 1845 Military Maps Not currently operationalOriginal Item: Only One Available. Just purchased at a military show, this is a very nice mid 19th Century U. S Percussion Hunting rifle, with a very large bore, almost . 60"! It is heavily rifled with 7 grooves, and most likely intended for hunting larger game. This example was actually made using a BRITISH TRADE back action percussion lock mechanism marked ATKINSON WARRANTED on the lock plate. This lock was made by Joseph Atkinson of Lancaster,
