Mid-19th century rifle.

Poor overall as refinished with worn markings, cracks and chips in the stock, loose fit, reinforcement, and moderate overall wear. Bore relined. The set trigger needs adjustment. The lock functions.

"C. E. WHEELER/FARMINGTON ME" marked barrel for Charles E. Wheeler active in the latter half of the 19th century.

Good with gray and brown patina, oxidation/pitting, and moderate wear. The refinished stock is fair and has some cracks and chips. The lock and triggers need work..
