Frank Wesson, Model 1870 Medium Frame Pocket Rifle Type 2, CAL: .22 (Probably Long Rifle), MFG: 1870-93. SN: 55, Single Shot, 12'' barrel.
HISTORY: these mid to late 1800's target rifles were meant to be portable, light weight, and accurate. They have stocks that slide into a dovetail cut on the bottom of the grip and are secured by a set screw. These antique ''Pocket Rifles'' are specifically exempt from the NFA and do not require an SBR tax stamp even though they have a short barrel and a stock.
CONDITION: The wood grips are in very good condition, solid with some handling wear, scratches, and dings. The nickeled stock is very good with some clean pitting. The bluing on the barrel has approximately 60% coverage with thinning and patina. The nickeled finish on the frame is very good with some patina scratches and dings. Bore is poor, the rifling is still visible but is very thin and dark with substantial roughness. Mechanically very solid, seems to function well. Odd target sights, Rear aperture sight with a notch cut into the top of it is screwed to the top of the barrel, front shrouded sight with secondary sight post is set in a dovetail cut on the barrel. Comes in a wood box lined with green fabric and fitted to this gun. Antique, no FFL Req. - Value: 1000 to 3000
