Timeline for Vincent half stocks.

[Dave Young]

Could someone tell me when the Vincent rifles were made? Would they fall under pre 1840?

Pre-1840 - uh, no, I don't think so. I'm certainly no expert, but I would say no earlier than the 1850s.
I have an original "Ohio rifle", that is similar to the Vincent rifles. I know that mine was made in the 1850s near Akron, Oh. by a gunsmith named "Wareham".

John Vincent started building rifles about 1843,and built almost until his death in 1882.Calib Vincent(son of John) was born March 21,1841,and was taught the gun trade by his dad,and built rifles until 1916,and died in 1918.
