Another 577 PH mustetoon surfaces.

One for Tac.

A friend of mine has just managed to acquire, for his first 'dark arts' toy a sergeant's 577 musketoon. His words:

Have today taken receipt of PH 2 band, serial number 1103 so based on your info, a Brummie early one. Having dismantled and inspected, i don't think it has been used much but has been long term stored without maintenance TLC; this is being corrected. Woodwork was a tad dry and some of the brasswork has 'Verdegreed' a bit but nothing obviously major. as soon as remedial work done, i'll be up for some on-range tuition/education. :d

I can see the gallery range disappearing in smoke next week to the dismay of the lie down, fall asleep between shots brigade on the 100yd (22 only) range if the wind is right!

I hate spell check. It keeps changing musketoon into mustetoon!

Whooohoo! Very close to mine - 1187!!!

BTW, don't refer to it as a two-band rifle - ALL Musketoons have two bands, but the two-band rifle is a different item altogether. That is the designation for the short rifle, much used by the Royal Navy - for obvious reasons, and it about six inches shorter than the three-band rifle.

Mine is 1152.

Hummmmmmm, I have a .557 P-H serial s1115 I've had it for a few years, its 'used'. another member has a mint one, we think it was a wall hanger as there is no evidence of it been loaded and fired but it did look like it had been 'capped off' the funny thing is that I bought the mint one first but took it back a few days later firstly due to the fact I had an unexpected bill and needed the money, secondly it was in too good a condition for me as I want too shoot it, I have the serial number for that gun but as it now belongs to some one else, I hope you understand why I will not reveal it.

At the moment your post is as useful to the register as a less than useless thing - perhaps you might care to PM me with the serial number? We are not in the least interested in who owns it. I have NEVER passed on any details of any gun that that been numbered here - in any case, if for instance, I'd told Mr Minshall that it belonged to TALL, what use could he make of that?
