I'll take the pistol...

I'll also try to get some money together for the Musketoon... I wanna start doing some black powder hunting.

I come down to North Berwick once-twice a month.  I'll let you know the next time I am down.  I'll even give you a break on the musketoon, since you've given me some in the past.  Let me know if you are looking for anything else as I've done some cleaning out of old gear.

Sweet. How's the accuracy on that musketoon?

The accuracy is very good for the first few shots but as with any muzzleload, needs to be swabbed to keep the accuracy.  I've used mostly roundball which work better.  The condition of this gun is very good. I have two others I prefer to use...my JP Murray and another musketoon which is a parker hale, so I really don't need this one.

In case anyone is interested I have a few Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifles I am going to take up to cabelas.  Make a reasonable offer and they are yours. If you don't have any idea what these are, research them before making an offer. I also have a side x side bp exposed hammer shotgun, but it does need some work. I am not certain if this one is an original, it seems to be.  Looking for $400. A nice gun.  I also have other period firearms, such as a 51 conversion.  Send a PM for more on the list.

Capt Cotton,

Can you provide a little more information on the mountain rifles. Condition, caliber. I may be interested and am in your area if you still have them.

Thanks

I have one in .45, one in .50 and one in .54.  All stocks are in fair-good condition and barrels are very good.  If you are in the area, you are welcome to come out and check them out or we can meet somewhere.    All three shoot very well.  These are not the centennial ones  with the browning moffit on them but the plain version.  I haven't listed them as of yet and don't plan to go to Cabelas with them till next week. 

I have also decided to put up my 2 Walkers and 2 Dragoons if anyone are interested.  I am looking at $300 a piece.  I have other cowboy items but will send a list via private mail to anyone interested.

Eric send me a Private e-mail to let me know what you want to do.

Will

We havent met yet but I have fell in with the 15th a couple of times. If you are going to be at Norlands, and if you still have it I would be interested in speaking with you about your Springfield. Could you bring it with?

Thanks

Tophat

Capt. Cotton,

Any idea on what you would like to get for the .45?

I was looking at $600 a piece for the Mountian rifles but will consider (and probably take) reasonable offers.  45 and 54 are the rarer of the calibers.

I remember Van Raymond having quite a few at $700 but for some reason they didn't get snatched up and eventually the price dropped to $400. 

Howdy, Tophat.  We've actually met a few times if you are the one who comes up from Florida.  One year I came to Fort Knox in confederate garb but changed because there were so few Federals.  I will bring the musket to Norland along with other items from my closets and trunks.  I have someone who will be looking at it this weekend though.

Will

Wished I had some money to throw your way Will. I wouldn't mind picking up a pistol. But alas...

Anyway, glad business appears good for you.

 Hi Will, You have got a strong memory! Yup good chance it was me at Fort Knox. I fought with the 15th at the fort last fall, but I also attended several times back in the late ninetys. Also did a couple of living history events in Bar Harbor and chmberlin days at Bass Park once. Had a great time each time I've found an event to "crash" when I am in Maine! I have a basic kit stashed at my camp in Phillips and would like to add an extra musket to the stash! Wish you luck for a quick sale this weekend, but I will keep my fingers crossed!

Hi, I know this thread has been cold for awhile now but I thought I'd still ask if you still have the 54. and 50. cal Mountain rifles for sale?

Anyone interested in a 1841 mississippi rifle 54cal. euro arms, with sling, great condition, asking $400 obo. or trade for an 3 band enfield or springfield. let me know

Dear sir, I  see that your ad for the Springfield musket is a few months old, but I was still wondering if you might have it and also be willing to sell it?  I can be reached at rwattez@q.com.  Thank you.
