    Looking for reproduction Amoskeag 2-band musket

    I have learned this weekend about "Amoskeag" reproduction muskets that had thin barrels that might be light weight for smaller shooters.

    Does anyone have one of these for sale?

    Thanks,
    Steve

    I hope you can find one. I bought mine years ago when Chattahoochie BP was in business. Mine shoots well.

    Also the colt and the amoskeag are one and the same, just a different name on the lockplate and came in 2 and 3 band.

    A number of years ago, I found a 1863 Springfield that had been cut down into a "Cadet rifle" or a Artillery rifle. I got a SAC card for it.

    I bought it off of one of the auction sites. The bore is shootable; I haven't worked up a load for it. The price was reasonable.

    Gil, can you weigh the artillery model and tell me how much it weighs?

    Jim: I'm sending you an email to ask the same.

    I have several two band Artillery muskets for sale.

    Search on this forum for my post about selling two band Artillery muskets. If there is anything that you would like to see, I can send pictures. The muskets may not be pretty but they go bang and pieces will go flying if you do your part.

    They also reproduced an L G & Y lock plate.
