I have a Parker-Hale P58 Skirmish musket, but am looking to buy a Springfield/Harpers Ferry 2-band style gun to compare. Needs to be Skirmish-ready with good sights and in good shape. Repro with a good Hoyt or Whitacre barrel would be great. Let me know if you have one you want to sell. I'll be at the Halloween Skirmish.

I have a two band, LY and G musket that may have belong to a skirmisher who may be inactive. LY and G is like a Colt Contract. It is built like an Enfield. The front site has the classic skirmisher paint and has two peep sights, maybe 50 and 100 yards. I just picked it up and like to try it, but if you are interested, I will not shoot it and dirty it up or shoot it and get some idea of its accuracy. The rifling is pristene and is marked with a cartouche of Whitacre(?). I am asking $1300 plus shipping in a hard case. Pictures upon request. Harry in Pa. Forney's03626v

Thanks. Sounds like a great gun, bit I'm looking for a Springfield vs. Enfield style. Have the Enfield covered with my P-H P58.
