I have a musket I’m trying to bring back to life. It was handed down threw my family. I have the breach plug out and after a metric S ton of cleaning I still see no end in sight of rust. I have a donor rifle for the lock work but I see I have missing screws and screws busted off that need removed then tapped . The leafs are all busted off the rear site and the pass threw from the nipple to the chamber is plugged. The screw is buggered and froze up.
the nipple is froze up and buggered also.
I don’t intend to hunt with it. Just get it back to condition for light wad loads. I’m hoping to have it done by the last weekend in March. My uncle who took a wire brush and lost the lock work and busted it all up will be here in April. i want to show him what it can be still.
Any directions on where to get parts would be great. Thanks Jake.
