US HARPERS FERRY RIFLE MODEL OF 1803
SERIAL NUMBER N/A BARREL 36" CALIBER 65 SMOOTHBORE MANUFACTURED 1818. The second series of the Harpers Ferry rifle with increased barrel length and stock dimensions. These were pushed into production due to the War of 1812. Originally 54 caliber flintlock but later bored smooth to musket use and converted to percussion. This example has been reconverted to flintlock and remains quite attractive. Lock is dated 1818 with the proper Harpers Ferry markings as well as the breech retains its original proofs and inspections. The stock is worn with period of use bruises and impression but is solid. An overall good example of the 1803 US Flintlock. ANTIQUE
