Have you ever fired this Springfield 1842 rifled musket?

I have on a few occasions.

If I can recall correctly I used .65 diameter minies and they were 750 grains with 70 grains of FF powder down the barrel.

No issues, kicked just a bit more then my M1 Garand.

I can’t recall if I bought them from Dixie or Track of the Wolf

That is one cool piece of history right there. I ‘d buy it if I could.

Send me a few photos of the bore, sights, and buttplate and I might just buy it.
