I have an original 1850 Robbins & Lawrence Mississippi rifle for sale. It is a .58 caliber type E Civil War modification. The barrel was lined by Hoyt with 7 grooves 1 turn in 60". The wood is stretched at the lower band. The lock has a Rich Cross tumbler and sear. The trigger breaks at 3 3/4 lbs. It has one of the repro mainsprings Allan Cockey and I sold some years ago. I'll guarantee the mainspring against breakage. We sold over 100 of these mainsprings with a guarantee and we have never replaced one! One lock screw is a replacement. The front band and both sling swivels are repros. I do not have an SAC card with it but it is built to specs and can insure you it will pass. I have enough guns with SAC cards in my name. You should have it in your name. It is sighted centered left and right but shoots low and will need load development and sighted in to suit you.
I'm asking $1650 for it. I can meet you at the fort for inspection or to shoot it if you would like. It's a damn fine rifle ready for skirmishing. It was going to be my shooter but I found an 1849 Harper's Ferry with the original armory conversion to .58 with the original ramrod. It needs some TLC but it will become my shooter so this one needs a new home. I've furnished a target shot with the rifle. I have more pictures. PM me for info or more pics.
The rifle is SOLD as of 3/11/2017
