Had this listed for a while until last week, and though I had it sold but seller backed out of the deal.
Here for sale is a late 17th century style (1680s and 1690s/William III era) reproduction matchlock musket. I think it began as a TRS kit, but with ramrod pipes added by the builder. Unsure of who built it, I got from an auction in Kansas. The pan is on the lockplate, as in the period gunsmiths were producing doglocks and flintlocks at the same time as these last matchlocks, in theory so that a new self igniting lock could be made and these guns easily converted. When I got it I had dreams of getting a doglock for it, but family bills come first so it's for sale.
It's a hoot to shoot! This musket has a .76 caliber 46 inch barrel that flares slightly at the muzzle. I've shot it with both ball (albeit undersized at .715) and shot loads. Weighs about 10 pounds, but is comfortable to shoot offhand or on a rest. It's at least more comfortable
than a Brown Bess. Length of pull is 14" Asking $1600 plus shipping. PM if interested.
Check by mail or money order or cash in person accepted. Willing to meet up within an hour of Albemarle NC to sell in person.
Now reduced to $1300 plus shipping.
