ORIGINAL: Mundy Started my latest project last night. My dad's cousin, before he passed away a couple years ago left me a model 1816 Harper's Ferry musket, built in 1832. I finally managed to pick it up last weekend. I started the steel wool/WD-40/409/metal polish treatment, and it's cleaning up pretty well. I think it's probably shootable. It was converted to percussion from flintlock at some point, probably in the 1850s. I'd like to get the old beat up nipple off and replaced with a new one.
