WTT: M1863 Springfield
I have a nice original M1863 type 1 Springfield rifle-musket that was built for skirmishing (I'm not a skirmisher).It has a very nice lock which shows the original color case hardening finish. The stock has had the fore end grafted under the middle band, and it's extremely well done. It has the inspector's cartouche on the side panel, and is in nice condition. The barrel is from Whitaker, and is marked ".577" underneath. It has been fully glass bedded and has a pristine bore. I value this musket at $1200. I'd like to trade it for an English or American fowler of about equal value. I'd also consider a fusil, military musket, Smith, Sharps, etc,or I'll entertain any other offers. Please PM me if you're interested, can't get photos to upload.
