Frank Wesson, Model 1870 Medium Frame Pocket Rifle, CAL: .32 RF , MFG: 1870-93. SN: 2056, Single Shot, 15'' 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 rates 79%, mostly original blue with some patina, handling wear, and the edges of the octagonal barrel being worn to gun metal grey. The nickeled finish on the frame is very good with some patina scratches and dings. Bore is fair, the rifling very pronounced but thin and dark with even roughness but no pitting. 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. Antique, no FFL Req. - Value: 1000 to 3000
