    1823 Harper's Ferry musket (M1816?)

    Just picked this up today. It's an M1816(?) Harper's Ferry musket made in 1823. As you can see, the barrel and stock have been altered/shortened. I'm wanting to make a 'winter project' out of it.
    So far, all small parts seem to have matching numbers on them...screws, buttplate, etc. Stock is marked 'JS', which I believe is James Stubblefield. Flintlock to percussion conversion. Interesting handmade front sight/ramrod guide attached to the barrel.
