Swedish Snaplock Musket built from a Rifle Shoppe kit by an unknown builder. It's 46" .77 Cal smoothbore barrel has a clean shiny bore, LOP is about 13", and weighs 9 lbs. Beautifully shaped walnut stock. Overall length of this beast is 63-1/2". Lock and trigger are very nice and it sparks great. The lock features a sliding pan cover. Build quality is quite good in my opinion and it's a ton of fun to shoot!
Not a lot of these out in the wild, a great opportunity to get your hands on one that's already built and ready to be enjoyed.

$2150 Shipping Included

What's up with the lock internals? It has a forward sliding pan cover with a lever arm underneath it, but no push rod or internal bridle on the **** to move such a push rod. It has the pan/cover part of an open-on-firing snaphance but otherwise is like a Swedish lock with the usual manual sideways rotating pan cover. Does anyone know if that is the way those kits come from the Rifle Shoppe? I'm wondering if the builder substituted part of a snaphance mechanism.

Still looks great, and I'm sure it would work fine. Just a different manual opening pan. Odd.

The manually opening pan cover, pan cover arm and pan cover spring as listed on the Rifle Shoppe parts list is what you are seeing here.

Hi Rex. Yes, that's the way the lock comes from TRS. Essentially a snaphaunce less the push rod.
