I did see it. Aside from the eye watering price, it appears that the stock has that unfortunately all to common crack running back from the rear of the lock. I could be mistaken, but it sure looks that way from the photos.

It is definitely a crack. I like his description though, "lots of character with no scratches or dings." I guess a lengthy crack is considered "character." Up to $900 on bids...

Be patient and keep looking. They are out there.

I have a pristine .45 Seneca, and IMO that rifle's a pretty fair deal, because:

A) It's a T/C Custom Shop (Fox River Outfitters) premium issue, with the upgraded walnut stock & high-polish bluing

B) It has both .36 & .45 barrels ( the .36 barrel is worth $350, +/- , all by itself)

C) The stock crack is and easy fix, and the stock will be OK if you refrain from using Hawken loads (which a previous owner likely did)

My Seneca's are not Custom Shop guns, but I would not sell my .45 for any less than $600 & my harder to find .36 for less than $750.

This my .45 (top, below with the .36)

If it wasn’t for the crack, I’d be more interested. if any one is interested in discussing a trade, I have a very fine Colt Woodsman which I’m going to sell once I find a nice Seneca.
 
Premium issue with an upgraded walnut stock is still a cracked stock. Fixable or not, for $900+ (who knows what it will sell for), it still has a cracked stock that will need to be properly repaired.

Now for even more money you have a Premium issue with a repaired upgraded walnut stock.

The fact that a pretty obvious crack has been left out of the description would lead me to question what else is wrong with it or the other barrel.

If a bidder is aware of it and bids on it or buys it anyway, good for them. But an unsuspecting or new person into muzzleloading is going to be pretty upset.
 
Stocks are like hens teeth, I found a stock for $199 after looking for over a year and thought it was a bargain. The cracks can be fixed, but it takes planning before you do it.
 
I didn’t mean to hijack your thread. I saw that was being sold “as is, with no returns.” I hate to see unsuspecting folks spend that kind of money and it is not as advertised. Yes, it’s an easy repair but at a minimum it’s a disappointment and the maximum a possible money pit.
