Description: This HEAVY and RARE Civil War Sharpshooters rifle came to me thru my Grandmothers family...her ancestor was CSA Gen'l Braxton Bragg. How it came into his/her possession is accurately unknown other than conjecture. This rare rifle weighs over 16lbs. and still functions. It once had a long scope mounted and after the war it was recut as stated on the top flat of the barrel to install the fron & rear sights as shown...the rear mount IS original to the rifle when made.. Due to rust the bore needs reboring/reline. The octagon barrel measures 1-1/4inches across the flats ...the stock is near pristine with the exception of a chip on the upper R by butt. Overall length is approx. 47inches.This is a very rare rifle to find being used in the Civil War. It is sold as -is due to condition and age. I have seen these over the years sell for several thousands of dollars..at my age I am offering this at a VERY reasonable price of $1695.+ est.$50.00 due to size/weight. NO FFL etc. is required to ship or own. Thanks for looking..! All questions will be answered.

Shipping Notes: See Description
Rare WW Greener 12ga. shotgun like new GP Martini action.This rare weapon has (2)barrels.(1)is for upland birds/the other (1) is for amusement as best as I can tell..perhaps a line throwing cannon..? I have amused myself for about 20 years launching a Golfball at very high speed to a distance of 400+ yds.I use a 12ga.brass/plastic-paper hull and load with smokeless OR Black Powder & wad. I much prefer the black powder as it gives a tremendous report as in a cannon..w/lotsa smoke. Impressive as hell and very powerful.I rarely use the 34in.12ga. MINT hunting barrel.I have never seen another like this one. I am NOT objected to a trade and unsure how to proceed w/a trade +cash/enen exchange?? I value this weapon @$1200.oo I may be high..? But I believe I own one of very few made.US Postal M.O.preferred.
