That is a very broad timespan, especially for firearms. The 1800s opened with muzzleloading flintlock firearms, and closed with fully automatic cartridge firearms. However, if you would like a peek at some of the CIVILIAN firearms from the LATE 1800s, and what they cost, ask your library to find you a copy of the 1896 Sears catalogue. That, and the 1902 catalogue, have been reprinted as a hardbacked book. Fun reading, and a good selection of rifles, shotguns and pistols- along with ammo. Delivered to your door.

No one answer- that time period covers 100 years, and thousands of different makes and models. A rifle could have been $2, or $20,000. We need you to be more specific in the time and type of rifle. Remember- 1800- flintlock. 1899, semi-automatic.

Money back in the 1800's was not as it is today. It all depends on the type of gun from pistol to rifle. The standard price would be around $17.

Why was guns in the 1800's not as good of shot as guns today?

The 1800's covers a lot of time- 100 years- and saw guns go from flintlocks in 1800 to machine guns in 1899- that is a LOT of change! The biggest change over the 1800s has been the use of better materials, and the use of Smokeless Powder (which started in the very late 1800s). The self contained cartridge appeared in the mid-1800s, and is still used today. New cartridge designs in the 1900s (and in the 2000s) increased the range, accuracy, and effectiveness of firearms.
