I have an old smoothbore that started as a flintlock with a crappy frizzen,
so i converted it to a caplock by removing the pan, frizzen and spring and
placing a piece of steel in the jaws. Works great. Barrel was shortened to 26"
and it is a one piece barrel and is Not threaded together as i guess some of the
early Japan made ones were.I have both musket cap nipple and #11 nipple.
Have nearly 2 bags of Circle Fly over shot wads, 2 bags of felt wads,a $70
Tanner brass .648 round ball mold and quite a few cast rd balls to go with it
and a nice possible bag to go with it. Make a great all around hunting gun.
I want $400 + actual shipping cost. If interested PM me. Thanks

I have fired it a lot. It does really good with 80- 90 gr of Goex 2f and a cast from the Tanner mold .648 round ball out to 70 yds or more. i can pretty regularly hit gal. milk jugs at 90-100 yds. And it does good with shot out to 25-30 yds. Never did a lot of shot load development.

Thank you, and the lock is it reliable?
 
Has been for me. Right now i have the musket cap nipple on it but i also have the number 11. It works with either one.
