    Japanese Matchlock Pistols and Rifles/Muskets

    It depends... -> if the gun is an original single shot/barrel muzzleloader and was made before 1891 no official proof is needed. Buying and selling muzzle loaders in germany is not a big problem as they are not restricted (you only need to be over the age of 18, only powder is restricted). It...

    Japanese Matchlock Pistols and Rifles/Muskets

    Unfortunately... if i would life in US, but as i'm from Germany, a Poland based manufacturer doesn't sounds too bad for me 😇 Thanks for the info, i will definitely check him out 👍 The pawn shop / auction thing is not really an option for me. I'm no collector and want to shoot it, so buying an...

    Any information about this musket/rifle?

    Ah i forgot, as the caliber is realitivly large (18.4mm) and the barrel is smooth inside it's more likely to be a earlier version than than the M1853, maybe more like the M1841 Version (but there is no side plate opposing the lock, so it's still not exactly dated :) ).

    Any information about this musket/rifle?

    This is exactly what's the most interesting part for me in such a project. Im not specialized in old weapons (this was my first musket), i also do old instruments and other stuff and normally because it's super interesting to learn about the object's history, how it works, and so on :) And...

    Any information about this musket/rifle?

    Thanks alot (espacially Zonie - your links is very helpful as it seems to be exactly Belgian M1853 rifle musket but later made shorter). The musket ist now finished (and fully functional) after a nearly a month of work :D Dissassambled, taken care of rust, closed woodworm holes, sanded...

    Hi, this is my first post in this forum. Thanks for welcoming me. I got an old percussion musket, and i'm searching for infos about it. From the outside it looks really bad, but after dissassambling it, the lock is fine, an the barrel also looks not that bad (see pictures for this). What i...
