This Triplett & Scott repeating carbine is a .50 caliber rimfire shoulder arm made by the Meriden Manufacturing Company of Meriden, CT circa 1864 to 1865. One of an estimated quantity of 5,000 such carbines produced under contract for the State of Kentucky Home Guard Troops, this carbine has a seven-shot magazine tube in the butt. Carbine stamped with serial #3910. All carbines were delivered after May 1, 1865 and all were contracted for prior to the end of hostilities. Loaded by depressing the latch in frame behind hammer that allows barrel to twist away in circular motion and come inline with magazine in butt. Firearm took the same rimfire metallic round as the Spencer carbine.

A 30” barrel is secured to the stock via a single barrel band. Barrel bluing has turned to a mellow dark plum patina overall and does show areas of light pitting and oxidation. Rifled bore is clean to bright very nice. Receiver stamped on left plate with "MERIDEN MANFG CO. / MERIDEN, CONN.” beneath hammer. Stamped "KENTUCKY’ on left side of breech. Breech tang marked "TRIPLETT & SCOTT / PATENT DEC. 6, 1864”. Two piece black walnut stock with the shoulder piece showing slight crack on left side of butt heel at the magazine tube entry. This was a common problem due to the thinness of the wood from drilling the hole for the metal cartridge tube. This is a very good condition Triplett & Scott repeating rimfire carbine would certainly enhance any arms collection.
