REMINGTON MODEL 1863 PERCUSSION CONTRACT "ZOUAVE" RIFLE
|
|
|
|
Description :
|
|
This is an original, Civil War, Remington Model 1863 Percussion Contract Rifle of .58 caliber. Known as the "Zouave" Rifle, a total of 12,501 were produced by Remington between 1862 and 1865. The Remington Zouave was one of the best made arms of the Civil War. This rifle is in fine condition, retaining about 70% of its factory blued finish on the barrel. The case colored lock and hammer have faded to a speckled pewter patina. The brass furniture has a nice golden brass color. The 7-groove rifled bore has some light pitting, but strong rifling throughout. The mechanics are excellent. The stock is fine, with just a few small dings from use. There are two crisp inspector's cartouches on the left flat of the stock. This is a nice example of a superbly engineered Civil War Rifle. Stock no. 20995
