Second-rate Marksman
By faith and fortitude…
Up for grabs is a small flintlock pistol. It sports a cut down .45 caliber Colerain barrel and Davis “Becky” lock. Inletting’s good but not perfect. It’s a great sparker with a light trigger. Comes with the shown box, brass cleaning rod and an antler primer/bone vent pick.
A bit of a back-story here:
I purchased this several months ago from another member on the forum only to discover that it had a crack in the frizzen. I purchased a new frizzen and had the lock tuned by a local blacksmith/gunsmith to the tune of about $100. The stock had a couple of very minute cracks, and I used some Acraglas to help stabilize things and bed the barrel. Unfortunately, despite using copious amounts of the releasing agent, I can’t get the barrel to separate! I didn’t want to risk damaging things, so I opted to just leave it. I haven’t had any issues whatsoever with cracks spreading since applying bedding.
Got questions? Please don’t hesitate to ask!
I’m asking $450 $425 shipped, and I accept most forms of payment to include electronic options.
