completed musket
« on: July 20, 2016, 10:09:49 pm »

A King Wm. III 1680s musket. Myself and friend Mike Davis who did the assembly that I can't do and I did the finish work.
.775/10 ga. 46" barrel, iron and brass mounts and a 6 13/16" lock. Walnut stock. Parts from The Rifle Shoppe.

You should have went with a bigger caliber.  Do you really think  a 1.6 oz ball will kill something?   >:D

 Thank you all. It might kill a squirrel  ::)
Balances well. I like smoothbore flinters. It will shoot .735 - 760 round ball or shot.

And you have the luxury of loading anything from as light as a .410 load to a heavy 10 ga. load!  Yup, that's one fine piece of equipment.

 This one is just under 10 pounds.  All the parts are made off of originals. 17th century men were smaller than
us now and they carried these into war.
