A very nice Harper’s Ferry arsenal second production type specimen of the Model 1819 Hall’s Flintlock Rifle altered to percussion.

This single shot breech loading longarm measures 52 3/4” long with a 32 5/8 long round barrel. Chambered for a .52 caliber round, breechblock pivots upward for loading and is released via a lever device that protrudes from the bottom of the stock forward the trigger. Hammer/Trigger mechanics are crisp and strong. All iron mountings and barrel retain most of their original factory acid-browning. The breech block has original finish remaining.

Barrel has a small front sight that doubles as a bayonet lug and open notch rear sight sits atop the breech just behind the lower barrel band. Both sights are offset to the left to allow for sighting past the old flintlock pan and frizzen. Bore is bright and deeply rifled with sixteen lands and grooves set in a clockwise direction.

Breechblock retains most of the case color. Top flat of breechblock is stamped with “J. H. HALL / H. FERRY / US / 1831”. Stampings are deep and clear. The trigger guard plate has the characteristic ‘pistol grip’ set to the rear of the guard bow. An iron sling swivel is riveted forward of guard with a second swivel is riveted at the middle barrel band. Button-head ramrod is complete with threaded end. Barrel is secured to the stock via three-barrel bands each using a pin fastener.

Black Walnut full-length stock is in fine condition. It has normal dings and dents due to age and use. Entire stock has an attractive rich color. There are no cracks or chips.
