Bayonet adapters enabled rifles such as the Model 1817 and Model 1841, as well as Southern-made military rifles, to be mounted with bayonets without weakening barrels by dovetailing in studs to engage the bayonet hilts, and they could help militarize civilian rifles bored out to military caliber as well.
Boyle, Gamble and McFee made two models of adapter. Both types consisting of a solid brass band that has a bridge enabling it to slide over the front musket sight, a raised bayonet lug, and an iron screw to tighten the adapter to the musket barrel.
This is one of their second models with a longer “footprint” stud and is 0.82” wide. These sometimes bear the firm’s initials and location or the firm’s initials and the patent date. This is one only has a mating number stamped on the top flat of the stud.
This is in excavated condition and the steel locking screw is rusty but present. The brass body is generally clean with brown patina. There is a little bit of green showing on the inside. [jet] [ph:L]
