Description:
Serial #9558, 12.17 x 44R, 32" slightly shortened barrel with a fine bore that has light freckling within the grooves. This is a converted musket which uses the 67/89 action but mated to an early 12.17mm chambered barrel which retains traces of the original blue that blend smoothly into a dark plum-brown patina along the balance. The frame has a slightly grayer patina while the hammer and breechblock have been cleaned to bright with some mild freckling scattered about. The rear sights are standard and a sporting ramp front sight has been added to the muzzle-end. The walnut musket forend has been slightly shortened to match the barrel and has numerous small handling marks and minor blemishes in the attractive re-applied varnish while the buttstock is a sporting replacement that has a checkered wrist and roll-over cheek-piece. The rifle is missing the cleaning rod but is mechanically tight and is an attractive example of a Swedish military rolling block reworked for sporting purposes. {Ref.
