Walnut half stock with checkered grip. Barrel 11" long 44 caliber smooth bore.
Single set-double phase trigger. Color casehardened lock, trigger guard, nosecap and entry thimble. I removed the lock and polished the surfaces of the mating moving parts. Spring pressure was reduced to proper levels for competition shooting. The lock primer pan area was increased for spark pick up. After tuning the pistol I took it out back of my shop and shot it eight times to confirm the flintlock operation. That is the only time it has been shot. I might also note I somehow misplaced the original wedge. I dug one out of my parts bin so the wedge is not original.
I purchased these pistols new about a year ago. My plan was to expand my shooting at Friendship from my open class pistols to also include the traditional classes of competition. Unfortunately, I developed a severe case of tennis elbow. I went through therapy and continue to do so and it is better now but I am still unable to hold up a pistol for more than a few seconds. On top of that, I have developed a tremor. My days of offhand pistol shooting are over. The joys of being in my late 70's, something tells me there is more to come.
My price is $590 delivered UPS in the lower 48.
