Description

The Confederate Whitworth "Sniper" rifle is a gun with an almost mythological lore that surrounds it. There have been countless articles written about this unique scoped rifle musket. Fictional characters have been armed with them in books and movies, and auction houses have sold originals for sums that approach six figures. There have been several companies to reproduce the famous Whitworth, but none have been able to compete with the quality of Parker Hale's reproduction.

This first generation Parker Hale Whitworth Rifle is in excellent condition. This musket was made in the 1970's by Parker Hale of Birmingham, England. These English-made reproductions are renowned for their match-grade progressive-depth barrels that were made with the original machinery used to made Enfield muskets in the 1860's. Parker Hale's reputation for quality accurate muskets became so renowned, that by the time the company went out of business in the '90s their name was purchased by Navy Arms, who continued to produce a lower quality version of the Parker Hale Enfield in Italy for a number of years, until they in turn went out of business in the early 2000's; leaving the legacy of the original English-made "First Generation" Parker Hale replica Enfields as the finest mass-produced reproduction musket ever made.

This particular First Generation Whitworth is in excellent used condition. The lock is in good shape with beautiful color case hardening and no rust or pitting. The lock holds solid on both full and half cock and the action is beautifully smooth.

The stock is in great shape with a few minor handling marks and no cracks or chips.

The historically accurate .451 Whitworth-rifled bore is excellent with very good rifling no rust or pitting and nice sharp rifling.

Included with this rifle is an original Parker Hale nipple protector.
