Iv been to have a look at the Musketoon this afternoon and she looks good. Serial number is just under the 4000 mark.
Crown over BP is stamped next to the nipple on top of the cylinder, Parker Hale stamp is as tac posted and the cartouche
is stamped into the stock in the right place. Wasn't able to remove the barrel but put my thumb over the nipple and blew
as hard as i could maintaining a steady pressure and couldn't feel any reduction in said pressure. Will remove the barrel
once i get my ticket sorted and get it home to be sure. Rifling looks shallow but crisp and very very clean.
Condition of metalwork is virtually as new and the wood has a few minor scuffs consistent with handling/storage. Wood fit
is excellent and the triggers not too heavy. Feels good in the shoulder, not as front heavy as the 2 band. Priced at £350
including delivery to my RFD i recon its worth the money. Just need to get the required slot now and away we go. Tim
