SOLD Reduced: Late 18th or early 19 C New England militia musket or fowler project

[Flintlock1640]

Some idiot long ago put a back action lock on this. Used to be a real pretty gun and with a bit of work will be again. Barrel has been welded it looks like to reconvert it to flintlock. 42" barrel .75 caliber. Bore looks decent. No reason this can't become a shooter again. $200 or best offer

 

[2 shots]

with wedges and wire inlay might this be a fowling piece??

could be. Weren't a lot of these pre 1795 muskets dual purpose?

Looks pretty similar to other New England style fowler or even militia muskets from the 1810-1820ish period…
