Winchester High Wall Musket 45-70
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 5:37 am
Hi guys, Im a Norwegian collector of antique firearms and a competition shooter. I was adviced to post a request here by a fellow American collector. The reason why I need to ask you guys a couple questions is that I have just bought an old High Wall musket 45-70 gov. Now, this rifle miss the rear sight, front barrel band/fore-end steel cap, rear barrel band and the cleaning rod is missing too.
Albert Buckingham had the rear sight and the rear barrel band, but Im still looking for the front barrel band and foreend steel cup. Cleaning rod too.
The front band and steel cup looks like this, you can see the looks of the cleaning rod too.
Question is simple. Is there anybody out there that might be able to help me finding these missing parts?
Iv learned that fellow gun-nuts like to see images of the rifles in mind so here is a couple images of the rifle that need those parts....
Thank you and have a great day
