Shoulder Stock – Inventory Number: RIF 248 / SOLD
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 most commonly used with:
• Colt Model 1851 Navy, Model 1860 Army, or similar percussion revolvers
• Some Sharps or Remington carbines or pistols
The robust iron construction suggests it was intended for field use, offering enhanced stability and accuracy for mounted or dismounted troops.
