The first percussion rifle adopted by the British and approved in 1837. The original was a 2 grooved barrel shooting a belted ball in .62 caliber, but when production started the caliber was changed to .70 so they could shoot a musket ball if needed. The barrel is 30 3/16". Many thanks to William Marean who supplied us the pattern rifle and research for this project. These rifles remained in use until the 1850’s. We also have the Russian version of this rifle listed later in this catalog. Bayonets for this rifle are listed in the bayonet section.
*Included in a Set of Lock Castings Barrels are available from Getz, Colerain or Rayl. |

We stock many items, but each item is custom cast or made by us to the exact specifications of the originals parts, we have copied. Due to the investment casting process which we use there are sometimes delays due to this process which in turn requires patience from our customers, the average delivery time on our parts is between 60 and 90 days, if the parts you order are not in stock. We assure you that the quality of our parts is well worth any wait, as many of the items we make have never been offered by anyone before. If you are serious about the authenticity of your weapon then the time will be a small price to pay. Many of the pictures shown on this web site are of original pieces. We do not sell any original pieces on this web site only reproduction's of the original parts we have copied. If the item description does not say assembled then you are buying the castings of that particular item.
