This musket was sent to me by a fellow who bought it as a kit. I reckon he thought he could sit in front of the TV and snap it together. EEEEHHHH.
Well, as y'all know, not happening. When I received it was buggered up. While I was working on it, he called and said he bought a finished gun and to sell it for him. SOOOO, here it is.
Barrel is unmarked, 28" long, octagon to round which mics out to .532 at the muzzle. Smoothbore.
So, you can go with a .50 cal round ball and a .020 patch, or a .520 round ball and a .015 patch. You can also shoot buck shot and bird shot. .65gr FFG would be a good load for this musket.
The LOP is 14".
Total length is 43".
The front sight is a steel turtle solder on.
The stock is a M2 - M3 Sugar Maple stock with loose even curl which goes the full length of the stock.
The lock is the, ever reliable, L&R Queen Anne Lock' known for it's speed and reliability.
I added a flint that was hand knapped in the 1700's.
The touch hole is drilled and coned in the perfect 'Sunrise Position" for quick ignition.
Steel furniture, i.e., butt plate, trigger guard and thimbles.
This musket has a single trigger which I positioned for a very easy touch off.
3/8" Hickory ramrod with threaded brass ramrod tip.
$1495.00 Delivered.
Cash, Check, MO, Visa/MC, PayPal.
New, Never Fired.
Semper Fi.
This was originally listed as a kit. Now I'm listing it as a completed gun for the same price.
This was it in my old listing.
This is it now for sale, same price.
