    1843 Hall Carbine

    1843 Hall Carbine made in 1847 as marked on the block. Block tips up for loading. Fired by a musket cap. I believe 54 calibur. Smooth bore. Easier to load horseback. I'm selling this one for my Dad. Thought you might like to see one.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Nice gun. My brother has one that is quite similar. Like most guns of that vintage the lock was converted from flint lock to percussion.
    The flinters are few and far between. Most likely used in the Civil War.

    I don't believe that one was converted from a flintlock. If it's a 1843 it would have been made as a percussion.

    I am no expert on Hall's since I have only seen my brothers. American Rifleman had a story
    about Hall last year that said for years he tried to get the Army to accept his gun and when they finally did they told him they would only take it as a percussion and he said nuts to you.
    If the story is correct or not I have no idea.
