Also known as a Norris and Clement. Original w/ relined 7 groove legal 31"bbl. Crisp lock w/o creep. VG condition overall. I purchased this musket to replace my 3-band with something shorter and lighter. It shoots splendidly - cloverleafs from rest at 100 yds. Mike Rouch sighted it with peeps and it's dead on at 50 and 100 yds. THE PROBLEM: in attempting to
get a card we found the barrel band springs were a later non-legal addition, and would have to be removed and the inletting filled. A split type top band would be needed, and the stock nose would have to be lengthened 5/8". All other measurements were in spec. Knowing what work would be needed, and not wishing to do it myself, I will part with this piece for $500.00. Even paying to have the work done should still render this rifle an economical skirmish firearm, especially suited for a woman or young skirmisher. ( Oh, and the lower band needs a sling swivel and screw.) Sorry, no pics as yet, but the musket can be seen at the 110th OVI shoot at Pleasant Hill, OH, 6/22 - 24. Thanks, Jon Barber 1483V 110th OVI
