A very rare Colt .56 rimfire breech loading conversion of a Model 1853 percussion carbine. The patent date on the action is June 1867. The metalwork is to a dark patina with a little pitting in one or two places. The wood work requires some TLC and there are several very large cracks. This gun appears to have been in Native American Indian hands at some time as there are marks on the butt where studs have been removed. This is a very interesting and rare gun that need a little work.
