MODEL 1842 AUSTRIAN CARBINE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, THESE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE
OF
MY FAVORITE CW ERA WEAPONS, THEY JUST HAVE THE LOOK OF BEING CARRIED BY SOMEONE
YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO MESS WITH, I OFTEN SEE THESE ATTRIBUTED TO SOUTHERN TROOPS

THERE WERE 10,000 OF THESE PURCHASED BY UNION PURCHASING AGENT GEORGE SCHUYLER
IN
LATE 1861 AND ISSUED TO GENERAL FREMONT'S TROOPS IN THE WESTERN THEATER, THIS IS
A GUN
YOU NEED TO SEE IN PERSON TO FULLY APPRECIATE, IT IS 30" OVERALL WITH A 14.5"
BARREL IN .71
CALIBER, THE BARREL HAS 12 RIFLING GROOVES, THE LOCKPLATE HAS THE EAGLE'S HEAD
STAMPING

1 FROM
THE DATE STAMP) ACTION IS CRISP AND FUNCTIONS PERFECTLY, RETAINS BOTH SLING
RINGS, THERE
