Austrian arms play a major part in American History as many thousands were imported by the North and South during the Civil War. Many of these were the earlier console tube locks which were easily converted to percussion by adding a drum and nipple. These Console and Augustin locks can be easily fired today by laying a musket cap upside down in the channel and closing the latch around it. The firing anvil will easily set them off. We wish to thank John Hakes, Terry Kirkpatrick, Kurt Gubert, Stephen Weber and John Furman for their help with these weapons.
This is the first Austrian Rifle to take a bayonet. It was designed as a simple functional well made rifle. It has a folding leaf rear sight on a 26" long .54 caliber tapered and flared octagon barrel. The muzzle is rounded for the long saber bayonet. These were originally made for a separate loading rod that was carried in the bayonet sheath, but most of them were modified by the addition of a front thimble for a standard ramrod. Austrian and German rifles used a long breech plug so they had a patent breech effect. Austrian rifles were almost always stocked in beech wood.
