MODEL 1803 HARPERS FERRY RIFLE LOCK – DATED 1806 –
RARE COMPLETE LOCK IN VERY GOOD CONDITION – MECHANICALLY
SOUND: This is a very clean and complete lock
for the US Model 1803 Harpers Ferry Rifle. The lock
plate retains the fully legible armory name and date -
1806, and a lightly struck federal eagle below which the
faint “US” is still visible. The inspector’s name is
adjacent to the eagle, partially covered as is normally
the case, with the frizzen spring.
The lock is complete, fully functional, and has a very
crisp action. The lock plate, hammer, and frizzen are
overall smooth with no significant pitting. There is
some pitting to the internal surfaces, but nothing which
affects the integrity or function of the lock.
An excellent replacement lock to complete your rifle, or
an early National Armory relic to display in its own
right, this is very rare Model 1803 Rifle major
component, this is a rare opportunity to purchase an
early US Armory lock. (0111) $1250
