Ok I blame my wife on this one lol. She told me not to sit around the house and I found a gun show I hadn't heard about goin on. Didn't have any money (or so I thought) for anything so I figured I was safe. Found a japanese flintlock .68 smooth bore only other marking on it so far is 1133, I assume serial number. I haven't tore it down yet. stock is really ruff. Guy was asking 150 he must of had it for awhile because when he asked how much I had in my pocket & I said I had 75 bucks he said sold. lock seems tight but since this is my 1st flintlock I've ever really got to play with couldn't tell you for sure. I know I should've saved the money but it looks like a good project gun to learn on and if I do anything stupid I'm not out to much money. I also got it as "loaner" I seem to have a guy at work that always wants to go hunting but doesn't have a gun. He can use this and not mess up any of the ones I like lol. End of barrel to touch hole is 31". It goes from oct to round and absolutley no taper, light rust over the whole thing looks like barrel and lock was left in white
and stored with out oiling. Putting up some pics if this cooperates. Just need to wait for payday to get what I need to shoot it.
