British 1853 Rifle-Musket

Description:
With a .62 cal., 39” barrel with a partially-bright about good bore showing light pitting throughout the rifling. The barrel, bands and lock are toning to a mottled dull gray patina with scattered areas of light pitting, light oxidation and scattered small impact marks and light handling marks overall. The brass mountings are a mustard patina with areas of light tarnish and scattered light handling marks. The  lockplate is unmarked
. The walnut-stained  hardwood stock rates about very good plus with crisp edges on the stock flats, a coat of period-added finish, a tiny chip to the left of middle screw , the breech tang screw stands proud of the tang, the sling swivels and sights are intact and the action appears to function well mechanically.
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
