1842 Springfield musket
I received one from my SIL today and before I even consider disassemble I want to find as much data and info as possible.I have read JMoores post and licked the pages but still want to know more.
Is there a web page / forum that has any disassembly data?
I am led to beleive there is a breach plug on the barrel but have not seen anything that looks like one.
I have not removed the barrel from the stock as of yet and do not intend to until I get more info on it.
A gunsmith I am not but I have been restoring old rifles for more than 40 years so I know the pitfalls you get your self into with out the proper data and or pictures so any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading this.
