Description:
With a 16 bore, and 39 3/4” long round barrel with an oxidized bore. The metal surfaces have aged to an even plum-brown patina with scattered small spots of old light oxidation; the brass mountings are a mustard patina with the thimbles moderately-tarnished and the pewter nosecap is dark gray. There are small Belgian proofs on the breech and the lockplate is marked “R.HYSLOP / NEW YORK”. The smooth walnut halfstock with full-length hickory under rib with small nails as pins, rates about good with a large round hole at the toe possible as a sling mount, The under rib is rather loosely-attached with the rear pin missing and brads serving the purpose of pins toward the muzzle. This interesting fowler was converted to percussion using the drum and nipple method; the lockplate and base of the swan-neck hammer are from a flintlock with the gunsmith-attached hammer head still showing the cock screw hole in the underside. An antique brass-tipped hardwood ramrod with iron worm is included and the action works well on one notch.
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
