SOLD Smoothbore Pistol, .62 Cal.

Greetings all,
I am offering for sale a very cool .62 caliber smoothbore flintlock pistol at a reduced price. I built it from a MBS (Muzzleloaders Builder Supply) kit a few months ago and have shot it about two dozen times with fine results. It's very fun to shoot!
The pistol features the L&R "Late American" lock, which I was told by Ryan (Owner, MBS) is the closest style available to match a Ketland Trade Pistol. It throws a lot of sparks!
The barrel is .62 caliber, tapered and flared, and 7.25" long. It has no front sight (traditional).
The stock is beautiful Black Walnut that I did some carving to. I also decided to add a different style side plate rather than the plane one found on the original. It just looks neater.
The pistol measures 13.75" in length overall.
I am asking $1050 for this handsome piece, delivery (where allowed) and insurance included. Layaway plan available.
Thanks for looking, and I will be happy to answer any questions or provide additional photos.
Best regards,
Bob

Ooops, one more!

Bump

Gorgeous pistol !!!

Path, again nice work!

Very nice! The styling choices don’t match the originals much but that’s not necessarily a bad thing at all. It looks better!

Sure is a beautiful pistol that will make a very nice addition to anyone's collection!

Thank you! Yes, I hadn’t a desire to make a Ketland Trade Pistol copy, but just a nice customized pistol of the period.

And it goes well with. .62 Fusil de Chasse or A Trade Gun

Is the bore straight or flared at the end (blunderbuss)?
