M1854 Lorenz Rifle,
Type II:
$579
(MTS-054)
Both the Union and the Confederacy were desperate for firearms and they turned to Austria for more. By the end of the American Civil War, Austria's Lorenz Rifle was the third most used musket. In total the Union purchased over two hundred thousand Lorenz rifles, while the Confederacy bought over 100,000 of them. In particular the Lorenz rifle saw heavy use in the Western theatre of the war.
Invented by Austrian Lt Joseph Lorenz in 1854, the first model produced had a .54 calibre. Later this rifle was bored out to .58 calibre and shipped to America. This modification allowed the same size of ammunition to be used for all top three muskets in the war: the Springfield, Enfield, and Lorenz.
Use of the Lorenz Rifle by both sides in the American Civil War.
Specifications
This smooth-bore version of the Lorenz musket. If you decide later, a number of professional s can sleeve the barrel with riflings.
The overall length is 54 inches with a barrel length of 37 1/2 inches. The rifle weighs 8.5 lbs. The barrel, lock and hardware are all polished steel just like the originals.
The seamless tempered barrels are made of polished gun steel (type
:BS970 no.080M40- auto industry foundry) and the breeches are tight. The breech is stepped to allow the vent to be drilled.As with all our other muskets, the vent (connecting hole between nipple and inside of barrel) is not drilled (read details below) so we can ship easily to your door throughout North America and to Europe and the UK. Aside from that they are exactly like the originals. A fine addition to any collection.
