Pottsdam Civil War Carbine

Description:
Interesting 19th century Pottsdam Musket that was made into a carbine, with a smooth bore .62 cal barrel of 26" length. Action is very strong and the European hardwood is good with the wrist area that has been hand checkered for a firm grasp. The sling swivel slot was filled in long ago, and has a soft soldered ram-rod ferrule and a simple thin wooden ram-rod . The barrel is thick metal and is rugged enough to shoot with the correct black powder load. These guns were cut down for calvary use in the war and were always smooth bpre and fired being held under the arm at full gallup. Front  brass bead sight at the muzzle.When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You.
