Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The US Model 1843 Hall-North breech loading percussion carbine was produced by Simeon North of Middleton, CT from 1844 through 1853, with a total of 10,500 being manufactured. The carbine utilized the same rising block, breech-loading system, that had been incorporated in earlier Hall breech loading-weapons. However, the Model 1843 used a new side-mounted lever to open and close the breech, instead of the various bottom mounted releases used on all previous Hall models. The guns had 21” long .52-caliber smooth bore barrels secured with two flat, spring retained barrel bands and were finished with the usual lacquer brown finish on the barrel and most of the furniture. The breech block and hammer were case hardened as on the preceding Hall models.
Like other Hall patent firearms, the casehardened breech blocks did not have the brilliant, mottled colors often associated with this metal hardening process, but rather were more muted and often had a deep bluish black color with little mottling or bright color. Many small parts, like the screws, breech block wedges and operating lever were fire blued as a result of the tempering and drawing processes during production. The standard breech block marking was five lines and read U.S. / S. NORTH / MIDLTN / CONN / (date of production). The left angled flat of the chamber was sub-inspected with a set of initials and inspection cartouches were applied by the arsenal sub-inspector to the left rear of the stock flat, while a final inspection cartouche was sometimes applied to the right side of the rear flat as well. Sights consisted of a simple fixed notch rear sight and an offset front blade, which was necessary due to the presence of the hammer on the top of the breech block, in the line of the sight plane. A threaded, buttonhead “ramrod” was included in the channel under the stock, to serve as both a cleaning and clearing rod and for emergency use as a ramrod should the block become seized and unopenable.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
