Original U.S. Civil War Era Half Stocked Percussion Heavy Barrel Target Rifle by Jaob Hapgood with Long Range Sight - circa 1845 19th Century Army during World War IIOriginal Item: Only One Available. Just purchased at a recent military auction! This is a very nice U. S. Civil War era heavy barreled percussion target rifle, typical of those used by early Yankee Union sharpshooters during the conflict. The design is somewhat reminiscent of the "Pennsylvania" or "Kentucky" rifles of the time, but it is definitely a bit less curved and more robust in shape. It features a 30 inch long half octagon barrel with 6 groove
