Description
In 1854 Sir Joseph Whitworth was commissioned by the English war office to design a rifle to replace the P53 Enfield and started to work on a .451 caliber rifle, equipped with a barrel having a hexagonal bore profile. During tests in 1859, the rifle outperformed all competitors, even enabling Queen Victoria to easily hit a target at 366 meters (400 yards), during the first meeting of the British Rifle Association. It was also used during the American Civil War, the rifle equipped the sharpshooters of the confederate army, hence the name “Whitworth Sharpshooters.”
Pedersoli offers its hammer forged browned finish hexagonal barrel version, made from American walnut with lock parts finished in a light color case hardened finish.
