Whitneyville Armory Kennedy .44-40 WCF 22 inch Lever Action Rifle
While today he is better known by most as the inventor of the cotton gin, Eli Whitney was also a
singularly accomplished firearms designer who perhaps had greater personal success with firearms
than with his most well-known invention
He supplied arms to the United States military from the time of the Whiskey
Rebellion past the end of the Civil War. He also sold arms commercially where he also found success
with firearms like this Whitney lever rifle which started as an evolution of the action designed by
Andrew Burgess.
With the more traditional style of lever used here, that would date this one being MANUFACTURED
between 1884-1886.
It comes with a 22-inch round barrel chambered in .44-40 WCF. Just like the Winchester 1873,
this rifle would have been a great companion to a Colt or Merwin Hulbert revolver in the same caliber.
This a Rare opportunity to add this very distinct example of our lever gun history.
