Description:
A very interesting New England Militia Nusket of .75 cal, with a 42" barrel with an oxidized bore. The barrel of this musket is dated 1822 at the breech. The metal surfaces have mostly toned to a silvery gunmetal patina showing some areas of light oxidation staining, scattered very light tool marks and pinprick pitting, but sparse.. The commercial made lockplate shows some very light embellishments and the markings in the center are almost lost with just a "W" visible. The edge of the pan shows an old repair, the screw heads show moderate slot wear and the cock has been thinned down and rather crudely shaped. The remaining hardware is of brass with nosecap, dual ramrod thimbles, tailpipe, long tang triggerguard with a rudimentary acorn extension, buttplate and lock screw escutcheons. The smooth full length walnut stock remains in good condition as cleaned showing some cracks near the tip and lock screws, mostly from America walnut drying out with age and from the recoil of firing a big caliber, a number of repairs to the edges of the stock along the forearm that are masked by added finish, some smaller scattered repaired cracks and dings. Most cleverly disguised so the guj shows up well. A trumpet-shaped ramrod with an old repair at the tip is included and the lock drops at half cock but is otherwise functional. When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You.
