Allen & Wheelock Shoulder Stock

Description

Allen & Wheelock Shoulder Stock

Original iron shoulder stock, designed to convert a pistol into a shoulder-fired weapon. Made of solid forged iron, this example features a curved yoke for shoulder placement and a threaded locking mechanism at the top, which would secure the pistol grip or backstrap in place. These detachable stocks were used with Allen and Wheelock pistols. The robust iron construction suggests it was intended for field use, offering enhanced stability and accuracy for mounted or dismounted troops.
