" arm not available for sale"
This is a custom built M-1855 type I Rifle Musket I built for competition shooting. It is the early type I '55 Rifle Musket with the 400 yard base long range rear sight located approximately 6 inches from the breech.
The barrel was made by Mike Yeck, .580 bore dia. with a 1-72 rate of twist, three grove rifling
This barrel also uses an original 1855 breech section and breech plug.
The lock plate is new made but is fully functional Maynard priming system. The hammer and all the internal parts are also original to the M-1855.
The Stock is new made, relatively speaking it is almost 30 years old and is Cherry wood.
All the furniture is also original, except for the brass nose cap which is screw held instead of the proper rivets. $2,000.00 plus ship & insure.
Comes with leather sling and tompion.

Thank you for your interest,
