This is a Chassepot Model 1866, a French single-shot needle gun that saw service in the French military in the mid-19th Century. It was a marvel for its time replacing muzzleloading rifles with an accurate breach-loading, bolt action design that allowed the use of combustible paper cartridges and eliminated the need to ram during loading. These rifles saw use outside of France is well when they were sold on contract to Peru, Bolivia, the Brazilian Empire, and Tokugawa Japan.
This rifle represents an early period in military firearm history and is a desirable piece for collectors of 19th-century European rifles.

Purchasing through Citizens Armory Imports is simple—just four quick steps:
Browse the catalog, apply filters as needed, and open the product page of the gun that best fits your needs and preferences.
Select the quantity and hit “Add to Cart.”
You’ll select FFL during checkout. You may need to ask the dealer to email a signed copy of their FFL to [email protected], referencing your order number. They must also authorize shipment to their address. This is a general list of FFL dealers and not necessarily a list of who we ship to.
When your firearm arrives, visit the FFL to complete the ATF Form 4473, background check, and any state paperwork. Bring valid photo ID (and permits, if required), pay the dealer’s transfer fee and taxes, then head to the range with your new purchase!
