FOR SALE US Model 1863 Springfield, Bannerman modified

[Brad Foust]

FS is a US Springfield Model 1863 musket that I believe to be Bannerman modified post Civil War. I have seen several just like this one over the years, they are all alike. Bored to smooth bore / stock shortened. This is the best one I have seen, is in good condition, functional and could be fired, though I never have. Bore is dark, but no rust.
I have other photos I can send if interested.
Asking $500
reply here.
Thank you

Barrel length? Overall length and weight would be useful. And you said it was bored out to smoothbore, bore diameter please.

As requested here is some additional information and a photo with my name and date.
The barrel length is 33", overall length is 49", weight is 7 1/4#.
Bore dia is between 20 and 16 ga, see pic.
There is also a repair in the lock. The bridle is cracked and it has been welded. A new bridle would easily fix it correctly. As it is it works fine.

I had one that was made into a drill rifle back in the day; the barrel was wooden! Now I realize the lock itself has value, but it's out in AZ with my brother!

Just saw this pic of one just like it.
