| rdfs:comment | - The 1792 contract rifle is not a specific model of gun, rather it is a modern way to categorize a collection of rifles bought by the United States government in that year. United States 1792 contract rifles are Pennsylvania-Kentucky Rifles with a 42-inch octagon barrel in .49 caliber, with a patchbox built into the buttstock. What distinguishes them from civilian rifles is that they were bought by the government under military contract.
