Have you shot this musket? (Just to confirm your opening statement that it is in very "shootable condition".) Have you removed the nipple to check the spark channel?

I have not removed the nipple or ever shot it. The channel is clear as air flows through it
1350.00 plus ship
I would consider buying this if the nipple is removable and if you test fire it to be sure it is actually safe to shoot.
I don't need a wall hanger and although this is a beautiful historical musket, I don't run a museum. I would buy it for the fun of actually shooting an original musket. I don't want to have it blow up in my face though. If the nipple is frozen in place, I would never be able to properly clean it.
I will look into the nipple removal
When I got it, it had an old oily rag stuffed down into the breech

The nipple is very tight, and threads are perfect
Please put a date on the ace of spades.

Why is a date required? It has never been an issue before? I just don’t understand
Heck everyone already knows my cabin as well
Looks great! Can you please test fire it with a proof load of some kind to verify that is in fact in “very shootable condition”?
MB:
Please read the classified guidelines #23. Bad people have effected us all.
Thanks

I have some .69 minie and some double ff of course
I will test fire it today, supply pics and card date
Shot it yesterday, and had a great time shooting it! Ran 70 grains FF .69 caliber minie
So,
- Nipple removed - check.
- Test fired and safe to shoot - check.
- Not just a wall hanger - check.
- Won't blow up in your face - check.
- Nipple not frozen - check.
- Very shootable condition - check.
- Gun not just a wall hanger because you don't have a museum - check.
- Ability to properly clean the nipple - check.
- Ability to shoot an original musket as required to confirm your purchase - check and check.
You did buy this, right?
We're just waiting to see status turn to SOLD, right?
