Retiring from skirmishing after Spring Nationals. Feel free to make reasonable offers. All items are for pickup at the Spring Nationals unless we make other arrangements. Email Jimbish1 at Outlook.com for more information.
I have the following items that I would like to offer for sale.
1. Rifled Model 1847 69 caliber Cavalry Musketoon. This gun has been put together using mostly original parts that are quite hard to find. It has an SAC card and I use 45 grains of Goex 3f with a 510 grain SWC bullet that I cast. Recoil is mild and it holds and shoots well. I used it for stake event $1,600 at Fort Shenandoah. The parts for this gun are rare and expensive.

Rifled Model 1816 Remington Conversion 69 caliber made by Haack and Vikar. Gun has lots of original parts and shoots great. I used it for stake and other musket events such as hanging tiles and pigeons. The previous owner could load faster than I do and he shot entire matches with it and absolutely loved it. You couldn?t build it for the price I am asking for it. Has a Whitacre barrel and uses a .685 minie with 55 grains of 3f. Comes with SAC card, $1,500.

Fayettevile Type 2 rifle built by Steve Buchanan.in 2019, Has a .577 Whitacre barrel and shoots .575-.576 minies. This is an approved gun and no SAC card is needed. Gun has only been shot a few times and has an open sight and a peep sight for different light conditions. All 3 of my Whitacre barrel rifles shoot the same ammo. Steve did a lot of hand work on his guns and it was hand fit very carefully. This is a very fine gun on the high end of custom guns, Priced at $2,800..
