J.O. Robson of Buffalo, was one of the better N.Y. State rifle makers of the 1850-1880 period. . He is best known for half-stock percussion target rifles in the .36 to .41 caliber range. Most of his later rifles have English back action locks and barrels made by Hitchcock & Muzzy of Massachusetts. His rifles are often German silver mounted as well. Western New York was not on the frontier at Robson's time and there were no Indian wars or dangerous game about. However, there was a relatively large German-origin population who enjoyed target and small game shooting as a sport and these were his customers. Most Robson rifles have some adornment in the way in inlays but they are mostly plain, serviceable, low-cost target guns.
