History
The 1867 model Carlé-system rifle represents a crucial transitional phase in the history of Russian weaponry. Adopted to rapidly modernize the old percussion rifles after the Crimean War, it was produced for a very brief period, from 1867 to 1869, before being replaced by the Krnka system. Since the majority of these rifles were subsequently modified or withdrawn from service, Carlé rifles preserved in their original configuration are now particularly rare and highly sought after.
