It must not have been there long, I check there almost weekly. They have had the two Potsdam muskets that he wants way to much for sitting there for awhile. Good you found it before I did.

Going to do detailed inspection and cleaning over the next few days..."happy dance" Coldfingers

So for the rifle 44" 54cal, swamped, bore is clean and shiny had the same oiled patch again the breach face. Barrel is coned also. There is an attempt at some carving. The lock, it is well tuned, sparks real good, triger pull is very light. New triggers gauge is in the mail, but at a guess I'd...
