I picked this up as part of a deal at a recent gunshow, and I think I'd better unload it before I get attached to it. I have not fired it, and I think no else has either. I can't prove that it's unfired, but I believe that's the case. The only thing keeping it from as-new condition are very minor dings on the stock consistent with storage and handling. No signs of abuse.
I'm tempted to keep it, but I really prefer flintlocks. Evidently converting these is simply a matter of getting a touchhole line and a lock - something like $200 for all. If it doesn't sell, I might just go that route. It has a medium-twist rate barrel that's supposed to be good for both round balls and conical bullets.
This handsome little longrifle retails new for between $725-$800 from what I can see. I'd be happy to get $450 + $30 to cover shipping in the continental USA
It will be also be listed on other websites and for sale locally.
