@dave_person Do you use interior or exterior? Sealer or no?

Here’s some pictures with the original sights installed. There is no “USA” stamped after the patent date, making this for sure a transition model.

Never in my life have I seen a wind-up Oreo 😁. Neat idea, and great work! GLWYS

After re-reading the research I did on this when I first acquired it, I quoted a couple of things wrong in the listing description. The barrel is from a transitional model musket, not a new model. Distinguishable by the barrel markings, round barrel, and military sights. "By early 1876 the...

Exactly. If it is fit correctly, it doesn’t need to be gorilla tight. Here’s one of Kendall’s higher end underhammers with a pair of barrels. No tools required. Requires no more torque than what is in your wrist. I’d like to know how many hours he put in fitting 2 barrels to 1 breech.

Please explain.

I feel like this is a bait post for another thread on blowing down the barrel.

THANK YOU!!

Thanks for the reply. I am assuming the number 9, or I guess it could be a 6, was an assembly number. These barrels have Birmingham proof marks from 1855-1868 range, and the 10 would have been the bore measurement at time of proofing. They could have definitely been cleaned up or reamed over...

Man, that thing is going to look AWESOME when you finish it. GREAT idea for salvaging the stock, and what a perfect use for the patchbox!! Can't wait to see the finished result.

Grifting Fox?

.40 is my top choice for a small(er) caliber. Every one I have had just flat out performs.

Here’s a pretty standard double gun by William Moore. The stock has been repaired, but is solid. The left lock is crisp in the action, both positions, but the hammer is a little loose on the tumbler. The right lock does not catch in either position due to a broken sear nose. Both locks are...
