Description:
Ssle pending........(SCARCER TYPE 3) P.S. Justice Type III CIVIL WAR Rifle-Musket...LAYAWAY?.......IN HAND NOW!
Here's an nice example of one of the Civil War's most unique muskets. The rifled muskets built by the firm PS Justice of Philadelphia were assembled using surplus and condemned parts from other arsenals in combination with new components made by the firm. The resulting muskets were of a completely new and unique pattern with distinct civilian-style pointed lock panels and brass trigger guard.
Justice built his muskets inexpensively in order to maximize his profit. These muskets were so hastily and cheaply assembled that they were quickly given a reputation of being of extremely poor quality and even dangerous. One officer noted that the stocks were made of improperly cured wood which allowed for shrinkage and caused the stock to crack and the barrel bands to slide off. He also noted that the sights were useless and appeared to be soldered to the barrels with a fake screw head inserted into their bases in order to provide the illusion of a dovetailed and screwed sight.
CONDITION: FINE CONDITION. MOSTLY SHINY BORE, WITH NICE RIFLING! Light residue in bore. Action works nicely.
Nice stock. .....,2nd firearm ships FREE, with this one....S/H $55.....Thanks, Greg 284-289
