    I'd love some help with identifying this

    I may have posted this years ago but can't remember and can't find it. I presume this is a musket made during the Napoleonic Wars and as a time saving measure the rear barrel band holds everything together. I saw a lock on Czernys Auction several years ago from Dutch East India Company that had...

    FOR SALE Antique American flintlock rifle barrel

    If it is swamped it is hard to tell on the tape measure. It appears to be straight 7/8" breech to muzzle.

    SOLD Honey pot made from a house built in 1819

    I cut up another white oak log from the falling down house I am salvaging from. This one is older than the last one. The outer edge was difficult to count the rings since it is the soft wood and badly deteriorated but there is over 130 years of growth in this honey pot. That means the center of...

    FOR SALE Percussion American long rifle with patchbox, project

    Bore is smooth and a little under .50. barrel is 30" long. Condition as shown. Took a ding in shipping that broke the stock and bent the tang. Didn't come with a lock but I'll include one I have that fits decently but only one side screw and I'll throw in a modern lock plate with two screws so...

    FOR SALE Antique American flintlock rifle barrel

    I see no signs of a cut off barrel lug or threads so I believe this is original flint though the hole is bigger than most. Tang is broken. I didn't clean the bore much but enough to get a look down without spider webs or anything and the rifling seems pretty strong still. It is .50 cal from...

    SOLD Reduced: Another early 1800s New England musket project

    The lock is in very good shape. All it needs is a new tumbler or repair the existing one with broken off square

    I'd like to get your opinions on this presumably early Roman miquelet

    Wish they were but they are examples online from previous sales. The bottom one I would have bought for the pistol but it is long gun size.

    I'd like to get your opinions on this presumably early Roman miquelet

    Thanks Rick, Since this appears to be a more modern gun utilizing older parts I'm guessing they also used a more elaborate older style Roman like these from past Czerny's auctions. What do you think? If I chose to build something new using the old parts I guess it doesn't matter if I use...

    I'd like to get your opinions on this presumably early Roman miquelet

    I got this on the mail yesterday from Czerny's Auction. I believe it to be original from ca mid-1600s. It has had repairs around the lock and forestock. Interesting that the shape of the Italian miquelet lock inletting seems more modern. I suspect it had one of those early locks with the...

    SOLD 18th century Fowler barrel

    I believe this is French with the filed flat the length of the barrel. It's not military size but with the damage to the muzzle not sure the caliber, probably low .60s. Needs some work but would make a fun build. $50 plus shipping from Virginia. For payments I take PayPal, Cash App or Zelle...
