This may well have been a Virginia converstion as well as shortening to make an artillery or sargent's musket, with a round barrel of 34" and a caliber of .75. The exterior metal is greyish and the GR/TOWER lock works well. Has an early tulip iron ram-rod, and correct brass furniture. Nipple is clean and serviceable. The forend wood has a field repair of the period and a brass nose cap. Overall a very colorful musket that may have been used in the Rev War, War of 1812 and the Civil War! 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[JB1] [JB1] SOLD |
