British Enfield Pattern Percussion Musket

Description:
A most colorful wall hanger of long  ago!A bore of  80 cal., 28”barrel possibly shortened for carbine length? The bore  with a moderately oxidized smooth bore. The barrel is roughly octagonal and is a plum brown with remnants of a flaking black lacquer showing heavy erosion in the percussion cap splash area at the breech. There is a simple bead front sight affixed, the rear dovetail vacant, with some Nepalese characters atop the barrel. The very rudimentary lockplate is emulating the Enfield 1853 pattern lock and hammer and is heavily oxidized and pitted. All of the brass furniture is very rudimentary and is reacquiring a patina after a polishing, now a goldenrod tone. The Asian hardwood stock rates perhaps good, was shortened at the nose,  with overall dings, handling marks, some light drying cracks, nothing serious where the stock would fall apart, missing some very small chips, rudimentary repair at tang above the lock place,  numerals stamped on left side of butt. A simple ramrod is included and the lock does function, but not recommended to fire..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
