New Jersey Maynard Conversion 1858 Rifled .69 and Johnson 1816

[MarkTK36thIL]

Good Afternoon,
Selling one of 2,000 N.J. contracted muskets that were supposed to have been rifled and sighted, but this was one of the 678 that were rifled by Frankfurt, and not sighted. So this is a .69 rifled musket, with the Maynard Tape primer system that still functions. Some pitting around the bolster, and a dark patina over exposed metal, but still bright under the barrel bands. This will be a very good musket to throw large lead objects down range. The stock is in excellent shape, with no cracks, etc., and still retains martial/inspector stamps.

$1425 shipped CONUS

I am also selling a Johnson contract 1816 in better condition, with a fitting and excellent condition bayonet for $1275 shipped CONUS

Both muskets are collector grade, and can be used for living histories, and obviously for shooting.

Please shoot a PM a with an email or phone number for pictures.

The Frankfurt Arsenal Conversion has a Remington tape primer.
The Johnson contract musket is a cone in barrel conversion.

The Frankfurt Arsenal Conversion has a Remington tape primer.

It's actually the Maynard tape priming system that Uncle Sam paid Maynard $4000 to allow Remington to
convert 4000 muskets using the Maynard system. Remington did not have their own tape system.

NJ Maynard contract $1150 shipped. A new cone was installed so the hammer could strike the cone, before it would hang on the Maynard hump. If you have a higher cone, you could put an original on it for display, or keep the fixed higher one for live shooting.

Johnson isn't for sale anymore.
Thanks,

I don't have a picture yet with the new cone, but can if you'd like.

Bump and lower price. $1075 shipped.
