Found MUSKET in thrift store.

[DaveN]

This is my first "Restoration"It's really a clean-up to put on the wall for now. I am not doing anything that can't be undone. At this time it is all apart and organized so I can put it back together when the rear sight and the stuff for the patch box gets here from the Rifle Shoppe . I have already received the ramrod and it is a perfect fit. At first it looked too long but I did not know just how far the rod went into the stock, and was pleased at the perfect fit. I could post some close ups of the various parts if you would care to post your opinions. I thought about leaving the metal as is but to refinish I think would require it to be re-blued? For now it just sits in my safe, safe from any more harm. Thanks again for all the interest, it continues to intrigue me the knowledge that's out there.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to ALL and YOURS


Parts should be here in 4 or 5 weeks, so sometime in late Jan. I should be ready to start putting it back together.
