This is an original lock and barrel, right out of the woods, for a Type III 1863 Fayetteville Rifle.  The lock is complete and functioning with decent markings.  The barrel is still 33 inches in length and retains a clear VP & Eagle inspection marks at the rear.  The bayonet lug and the front sight slot have been ground over smooth.  The rear sight slot has been filled.  All three of these slots can be opened back up.  Generally, when they are filled like that, the filler is braised   They can be heated up and knocked out or re-cut.  The barrel has no rifling left and has a keyway dovetailed to its bottom, but is relatively smooth and untouched, as is the lock.  SOLD!!
