P-1837 Brunswick 2 Groove Rifle w/ Sword Bayonet, Untouched



Quantity: 

Customer Rating:6 ratings

The Brunswick 2 groove rifle was the first British percussion military rifle to succeed the famous Baker flintlock of the Napoleonic era. Originally designed with 11 groove rifling, this Hanoverian design was rejected in favor of the standard 2 groove “belted ball” .704 caliber rifle.  Issued exclusively to the British home army and Indian army rifle regiments, our Brunswick rifles date from the earlier back action design.  No patch box lid available. The Sword Bayonet is brass hilted Colonial issue with a knuckle guard. No scabbard included.

All show extensive use but each appears, by and large, to be complete. They may, or may not function, once the thick layer of congealed dirt, grime, grease and rust are removed, and may suffer from cracks and breaks which is to be expected after more than a century of neglect. Again only offered in AS IS condition; complete with caked on debris from battle and storage. There are NO Guarantees other than that each gun is completely genuine and very old. These relics should be likened to an archaeological dig, so no unreasonable demands or gripes please. Now offered at a bargain price for the enthusiast to enjoy as is or to spend the time and TLC to carefully restore; each weapon is REAL, ANTIQUE and is offered AS FOUND. Picture is a typical example; each weapon will vary of course.  There is a $10.00 additional shipping & handling charge with item, cannot be shipped USPS. We can hand select the best rifle for an additional fee of $50.00.

Each gun will feature:
The barrel and action (which may be incomplete), reproduction butt plate (if missing) and sword bayonet #600813.  There is no guarantee for any other parts.  

Condition: usually show rust & pitting and be covered in dirt as originally stored.  Otherwise they may not operate because of seizing or could be otherwise incomplete.  Plus there may be additional cracks, missing chunks, old repairs.

Note: These guns were manufactured before 1898 and are therefore legally considered antiques. It is totally legal to own these without a U.S. Federal Firearms License (FFL) and they can be shipped to most countries around the world.

Hand-selected speciman -- dirt covered, light rust in barrel, lock full of dried grease, some cracking along top of barrel channel on stock (now repaired), complete except for patch box. Bayonet needs fitting to lug on barrel. Everything cleaned up very well and am very pleased with purchase! I wish someone would reproduce the missing brass patch box for these Brunswick muskets.

I've bought a number of the Nepal guns,but this is by far the best.The Rifle is in very good shape,no parts missing.The barrel is likewise outstanding,with only a tiny spot of superficial rust visible,no pitting under the wood line or elsewhere.Unfortunately the Bayonet doesn´t fit the Rifle.The added price for hand select was well worth the additional amount. Many thanks A.C.!M.Schoch,Germany

Just as described. Hoped I would get a British rifle, but got a very fine Nepalese. Was filthy as promised but has cleaned up very nicely. All parts were there and it appears to be in fine working order.

The rifles rear site was thre but the flip site was broken off, patch cover missing as expected, all of the other brass was there, actually had about 1" of the original sling still attached to the lower end,the first round of cleaning was already done. The bayonet also was in very good shape, minor pitting, still with a great edge, It will need some fileing to fit the rifle bayonet lug. All I can say is I have a beautiful antique. Thanks AC!

When this weapon arrived, it was just as the ad depicted; that is, covered with dirt, grime and rust. After cleaning with mineral spirits, I was delighted to find a gun that was in very good to fine condition. I had expected Nepalese markings; however the lockplate was marked "R'l Manufactory Enfield" (in script); a crown with the "VR" cypher underneath and a date 0f 1840. The barrel had british proofs and the word "Enfield" with the date 1839. The patch box was missing and the replacement was too narrow; that's the only negative comment I have about the gun. Well worth the money. Dr. Michael D. Armour, COL(ret.),USA.
