REDUCED This 1766 Pattern (I think
) Charleville musket was made in 1976 by a company called Harpers Ferry Arms Company. This one is No.44. It has a 42" barrel. Short, I know. And an excellent bore. The bore actually seems to be slightly rifled in an odd spiral fashion. Bore measures .710. The overall finish is very good, with a brown patina forming on some parts from long storage. No serious corrosion. Stock is sound with a 12.5" LOP. From what I have found, these were considered of a good quality, if not wholly authentic. Appears unfired. Not a Pedersoli, but not priced like one. $750 + Shipping.
