Bore in very good condition, light wear with some very light pitting, more so at the breech end, lands & grooves are sharp/clear.

The Smith Carbine is a breech-loading rifle patented by Gilbert Smith on June 23, 1857 and successfully completed the military trials of the late 1850s. It was used by various cavalry units during the American Civil War. The Smith Carbine was unique in that it broke apart in the middle for loading and it used rubber cartridges which sealed the gases in the breech. Poultney & Trimble out of Baltimore was the name of the distributor for the manufacturers of these rifles. NO FFL Req - Value: 2000 to 4000
