Checking in 1st post, Old Rifle!
Hello folks! long time reader first time poster here. I love guns, All guns. If it goes "BOOM" I like it.

Anyways, to my question....

I have a Frank Wesson .44 Caliber rimfire tip up rifle with a 24" octagon barrel. Passed to me from my grandad, and to him from his grandad. Here is what's stamped on the barrel...

Frank Wesson
Worcester Mass.
Pat'd Oct. 25, 1859 & Nov.11, 1862

Believed (to me at leist) to be a 2nd type made around 1863 to 1875 or 1876. Estimated quanity is around 5,000 units. Oh, and did I mention it is serial #3?

If anyone has ANY knowledge on this rifle i'd very much like to hear it. Thanks Folks!

On to the pics!

Truth is like the finest dagger ever made;
The steel cannot be dulled, chipped or broken.
Its thrust is deep and causes agonizing pain.
Those struck with the dagger of truth
must come to terms with the wicked lies
within their heart and soul.

No matter where you run or hide, nor how deep you dig your foxhole...the big green weenie WILL find you.
