Bayonet adapters enabled rifles such as the Model 1817 and Model 1841, as well as Southern-made military rifles, to be mounted with bayonets without weakening barrels by dovetailing in studs to engage the bayonet hilts, and they could help militarize civilian rifles bored out to military caliber as well. Boyle, Gamble and McFee made two models of adapter, both consisting of a solid band that has a slight bridge to enable it to slide over a front sight. The adapter would then be locked in place with a small set screw.

This early model is narrow, measuring 0.59” wide, is unmarked, and has a (well worn) square stud. The steel tightening screw is missing. The brass body is smooth with a brown patina.

This is an interesting piece of a well-known Confederate arms maker.  [jet] [ph:L]
