Ferguson Rifle (513)
The Ferguson Breechloading Rifle was basically an improvement of the older La Chaumette design of the 1720’s. Ferguson added an extension to the bottom of the barrel to keep the breech screw from falling out when loading and added grease grooves to the breech screw to help with continued firing. One hundred of these rifles were made and sent to America with Ferguson. There are only two surviving specimens known, one in the Morristown, New Jersey, National Park Museum and one in the Milwaukee Public Museum. We made our patterns from the Milwaukee example as it was in far better condition. This is one of the best museums in our country and we advise anyone who is in that area to stop in and visit. Their staff were wonderful people to work with going far beyond normal duty to help us, with this project. We have produced all parts for this gun and we have gone the extra mile on these rifles to make sure they are 100% correct, even with the original proof marks and correct rifling. We do not stamp these original style proof marks on barrels unless they are requested by the customer when order is placed. If you would like us to stamp the original style proof marks on the barrel it is an additional $75.00 labor charge. The original military breech screw used 11 independent threads not 10 threads as the sporting models do. The breech screw is also tapered considerably to keep the screw from binding. We have also reproduced the original 30" bayonet which was designed for use as a sidearm (the blade projects directly from the side of the socket for balance). The lock plate measures 5 1/4" x 15/16". The throw of the cock is 1 1/2". The Ferguson Rifle has a caliber of .65 with deep fast twist (1 in 56 Twist) rifling. The powder chamber holds 72 grains. The barrel and breech assembly is finished. The tapered 11 thread plug is fitted w/square cut for trigger guard. We can cut the (4) dovetails for the underlugs and rear sight and braze the front sight and bayonet lug on for an additional $150.00.
