As you can see there is some room for improvement. The forearm is cut and there is a gap between lock and barrel. Barrel is a three stage with two sets of wedding bands but the original removed lugs do not match up with the stock. Impressed they found this good a match honestly. Barrel is 42" and about .80 caliber. Bore looks rusty. I've made no attempt to clean it. The original flintlock is lovely as is the side plate. Trigger guard is broken at the screw and the butt plate top piece is a restoration. The original plate wore through at the top edge. $700 plus shipping. The individual pieces would probably sell for more than that. Would be a fun challenge to restore but I need the money for a new toy I just won at auction. Payment online by PayPal, Zelle, or Cash App or you can mail me a check or money order

More pictures. I don't think it would take much to get the lock to come in closer to the barrel. The lock needs minor adjustment. The notch for half **** is cut too deep and will need to be filled at the edge so the **** doesn't catch in it and keep it from reaching the frizzen.
