For sale is a 1730 British Sea Service Pistol. These pistols were issued primarily, as their name implies, to naval forces, but found a fond home with many an officer, especially American officers, and cavalry forces the world over. 64 caliber, gorgeous brass fittings, it's going to be your new favorite pistol. Everybody has a plastic Glock, how many people do you know, that have a flintlock pistol?


$580, free shipping.


The kit requires a bit of work, comes from Rajasthan Armory. Same manufacturer as Veteran Arms. I do want to note that people like Military Heritage use AHU which produces cheaper Indian muskets, hence the price difference. Rajasthan is more expensive, higher quality. You won't find Rajasthans for sale at less than $450, without shipping.

Required Work:
-Drill the 1/16" touch hole.

Recommended Work:
-Stain the stock to a walnut color.
-Clean off the "travel grease" used to protect it on its long sea voyage across the Pacific.
-Take the lock apart and polish up the moving parts. It'll operate in its kit form, but buddy, this 1 hour of work makes a world of difference.
-Go get a bayonet, a cartridge box and some flint!


I know my old ads were more descriptive, but after I got three pulled, I got tired of typing it out again. Happy to answer any questions you all have. No FFL required obviously, so it ships right to your door. I've built about 20 of these kits over the years, and they're fantastic ways to get into shooting military-grade muzzleloaders, without spending $1,700 on a Pedersoli. Heck, you could get three of these for that price!

Oh wow! My apologies, no wonder not many replies are coming in! I accidentally priced these at longarm prices.

The price is $345 shipped. Yikes, I wouldn't pay $580 for a pistol either! :)
