Original U.S. Civil War Era New England Under Hammer Turret Breech Percussion Target Rifle with Flame Maple Half Stock - circa 1855 ZULU War It was recovered in 2006Original 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 23 inch long octagonal barrel with 7 groove
