TRS M1817 Rifle

tsmgguy · May 2, 2022

Just a few photos of my M1817 common rifle in .54 cal. Wish my photography skills were better! The rifle was ordered from The Rifle Shoppe and was delivered after a two year wait. Workmanship is excellent, with a perfect wood-to-metal fit. All metal is browned except the lock which is color case hardened.

A few more pics. Lock plate is marked US and H DERINGER PHILAD and was cast from an original. Deringer was one of the five common rifle contractors.

Looks good. I didn’t know you could order complete rifles from them.

I have an incomplete 1817 kit from the rifle shoppe. Been waiting on the barrel and bayonet for 2.5 years.

I don't know that you can. This rifle was ordered about five years ago.

VERY NICE M1817!

I made one about 15 years ago. Although, I went to a machining course at the local JC college to get the knowledge to finish it.

It's great to see another finished!!

Wow both of those rifles look great. One fresh n white and the other plum brown. I never was looking at one of these but now im kinda thinking about it.

I guess could be used for mountain man era impression. Bought it off a deserter or took it with you after a hitch in the army.

Just got my Hoyt 1817 common rifle barrel a few weeks ago. Working on this kit is going to be fun.
