Armisport 1861 Springfield

I obtained this from a reenacting buddy who fired many blanks, but no actual live ammo. I tested it with a blank and it fired quite well.

I then replaced the nipple and I bought two sling swivel pins from Taylors to replace the wire that he had used to attach the swivels. I do not have the proper tools to peen the pins, so you'll need to do that yourself or just use stiff wires like my buddy did.

I also bought a box of 25 Minie balls from Track of the Wolf, but never got around to shooting them.

It comes with:
Canvas gun bag
Sling and swivels
Swivel pins
25 Minie balls
Nipple wrench
Modern jag
Old style jag
Worm
Ball puller
Bore brush
Breech face scraper

$750 OBRO
