WANTED Miroku 1861 Springfield

[kyle_kalasnik]

Just what the title says. Does anyone have a Miroku 1861 that they are willing to part with?

I’ll buy or trade to get one.

Thanks for your time.

I lucked upon a Miroku 1861 long after they were discontinued. Got a flyer in the mail from Dixie; they had a small lot apparently "dug up"; imagine my surprise when the Serial No. turned up as 0013! Which I assumed meant it was an early production when the dies and cutters were 'fresh'. Still have it! This was back in the early 2000's. I always wished I kept better receipts on stuff I've bought, for reference purposes. I also value a '61 Springfield set up by James River Armory for target work. The muskets were shipped to them smooth-bored, and rifled by Mr. Hoyt, then fitted with a high target front sight. I think they were Armi Sports. That was an era when I was on a rifle-musket kick; had some extra money at the time. Good luck finding one, you are on the right path as they are really nice.

I have a unfired one, may have been a kit gun, I don't know. If it was it was a pro job. Full glass bedded. Will post pictures when the sun comes out
