WITHDRAWN Miroku .45 Flintlock Pistol

[BigSkyRambler]

Reduced to Bottom This .45 Kentucky style flintlock pistol was made for Hi-Lux by Miroku of Japan. The barrel is in the white, so likely a kit gun. Finish has a spotty patina. I removed some light surface rust. Bore is shiny with scattered light pitting. Nothing egregious. Stock is in good plus condition. Ramrod missing, but jag tip was stuck in front furel. Lock is strong and stamped JAPAN on the inside. Should be a good shooter. $215 + Shipping.

Does it spark good? I had a Miroku and never did get it to spark. I tried everything I could. Different flints, different distances from frizzen. Took apart the lock and polished every moving part. It was strong. Was told it was the frizzen. Got so frustrated I sold the thing.

Gotta see if I have a pistol flint.

Oh ok, just noticed it doesn’t have one in it.

I think that vintage Dixie rifle has a pistol size flint. Will check this evening.

Flint not the best. Kind of small, but here is result .

Disregard my last. I apologize for jumping the gun on this one.

I had one as a young man. Was very reliable and accurate. Enjoy!
