I have no dog in this hunt but can someone tell me why this musket on GB is not getting attention. I must be missing something. #657083710.
I hope I'm not breaking any rules here.

Stock has been refinished at some point and all the metal cleaned. I guess it's worth it with the bayonet thrown in. Guns sales are slowing down....

I agree with PJ. The stock has been sanded and refinished and the metal cleaned. Being an early gun with the long range sight helps it out. It's worth it and someone will buy it. Remember it is an auction site and most action happens in the final minutes of the auction. It may be getting more attention than you think.

If you can't find it search for the item #657083701 or "Springfield Rifle 1858"

A search of the closed auctions shows it's been up many times and started at $1800 with no bids until the previous listing where two people went as high as $1100 when his Buy it Now had been lowered to $1600.
It should sell now........

I'd think a better description would make it sell faster. Bore condition.....that sort of thing.
