Great photos and info about the Hall rifles and carbines in the original posters' collection. If you are interested in seeing an original Hall rifle in action, check out the following link to a video taken of me shooting my M1819 Hall (converted percussion). My rifle is dated 1826.

'cowtownscout' - Thank you for sharing your wonderful collection. It would be very informative to know more about the screw threads that Hall used: Pitch or TPI, thread profile, and screw diameters.

The Hall rifle was a truly revolutionary endeavor in gun manufacture. It was produced at two National Armories, requiring careful gauging and tolerances to achieve interchangeable parts.

It had a profound effect on future arms manufacture. It would be interesting and educational to know, if something basic like the screw threads Hall used, carried into later U.S. Arms manufacture?

Yes the Hall set the stage for uniformity and interchangeability of parts within the firearm industry. Actually they were not made at both national armories they were only made at Harpers Ferry and not Springfield. At some point the government had some contract Halls made by North but they had their own model numbers and were slightly different.

I will post pictures after the holiday weekend. Heading out of town. We will be putting on a military display of W.W.I on Memorial Day.

03collector we sure would like to see photos of those Halls you told us about back in May.
