    H and P smoothbore firearm

    Charlie,

    I shoot mostly original firearms that are not pristine but still usable. If the barrel is marginal, I will leave it alone and not shoot it or get it relined. The H and P that I shoot and selling for the right price is a Springfield 1838 (smoothbore) and the 69 cal Rifled smoothbore is 1831 with the rear sight in the reverse. The more that I look at the fit of the parts, the rifled H and P appears to be put together from almost fitting parts. It could be late war or post war. The barrel has a clean out screw which is marker for the New Jersey, type 1, but the New Jersey markings are gone. The Rifled musket has been bored out except for faint rifling at the breech. The barrel on the rifled H and P is thin. Even though I fired it with unpatched round ball; the barrel is thin. If I was in my middle Skirmishing years, I would explore the possibility of buying a Hoyt or Dan W, H and P smoothbore barrel and match it to the lock. There is a post on this forum where I hoped to do that but the group response was vague or not worth my effort. After 40 years in the Organization, I am looking for simple not complex. As stated in the post, The Macons are a combination of original and repro, and all have a SAC card. The smoothbore H and P has a SAC card.
    An example of the firearms for sale on this forum is beauty and function, and they command a premium price. My firearms are built for function not necessarily beauty. From a reasonable distance, my firearms look good. If you see flaws, you are standing too close to me.
    In a nut shell that is it. With these firearms you load up and shoot; the gun will fire. Hitting something is totally operator dependent.

    With that said, did I answer your questions? If not, send me a PM, and we can take the discussion off line.

    True Blue and Diamond Hard,

    Sending this thread around again.

    I sending this thread around again hoping someone will find a future Holiday present. Anyone can give clothes, but it is special to give that certain family member something that he/she will enjoy. You will enjoy shooting next to that family member as well.

    I am selling a modified list. The Maynard has been sold.
