Enfield Musketoon. A garage sale special.

[RhinoDave]

Thought I would show a couple of pics of an Armi San Paolo 1861 model Enfield Musketoon I found at a garage sale. Barrel had some rust from poor maintenance but it cleaned up pretty well. Only some minor pitting near the muzzle. After one trip to the range, I got it down to a 6" group at fifty yds. using a patched .562 round ball. I tried a few .575 minies but they were pretty loose and all over the target. Need more range time for sure. Oh and the price.... $75.00 There are times when I love garage sales.
