Original U.S. Civil War Era Half Stocked Percussion Heavy Barrel Target Rifle by Jaob Hapgood with Long Range Sight - circa 1845 Category_Martini-Henry Bayonets VINTEN LIMITEDOriginal Item: Only One Available. Just purchased at a recent military auction! This is a very nice U. S.

It features a 30 inch long half octagon barrel with 6 groove
