highlander Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) I currently have one of those Japanese flintlock pistols, same as this previous thread; https://pyracy.com/in...showtopic=13218 I am trying to get some funds together for a Murdoch pistol, so must sell this one. The pistol is one of the good ones, everything is solid, the frizzen sparks well, and the lock seems to have been tuned. Only issue is the metal ramrod is missing the bell-end, but since I was going to get a hickory one, I didn't really care. $200 and she's yours, shipping extra. I don't take PayPal, so a Money Order is best. Edited February 23, 2010 by highlander
Captain Midnight Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Indeed, a couple of members of my crew may well be interested. I have passed this along to them. "Now then, me bullies! Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?" ---Captain William Kidd--- (1945)
Quartermaster James Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I can't recommend our own pub brother Callenish Gunner highly enough for when you are ready to buy your Murdoch.
highlander Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 I can't recommend our own pub brother Callenish Gunner highly enough for when you are ready to buy your Murdoch. Aye, QM James, thats be the man I'm going to!
Capn Bloody Sam Rackham Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I may be interested. However, I have a few questions. Have ye had it fer long? Have ye shot it, live and blank? Curious to know what inspections have been done, reading all of the other posts. Being a Novice, I'd like to know afore I get it, savvy? Not too sure what I'm getting into.

callenish gunner Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Proofing the weapon would take an hour or so on a range under some controlled situations ...I usually stand fire them at first and sandbag fire them for the double load proof firing ...... and I use the public range of the state game commission a mile from my house. ...last step is an visual inspection under 300X magnification and if there is question an Xray of the barrel with a local lab (+$45)

'Til the Morrow, Bloody Sam Rackham Sir, I shall endeavor to answer your queries; I've not had it long, just a few months. I've fired blanks, double load, held in a vise stand. I've not fired ball, although the fellow I bought it from said he used it quite a lot firing ball. I've read and heard the 'issues' with some of the 1960's Jap guns, but I believe I have one of the good ones. I will try and get some pics posted. Edited February 23, 2010 by highlander

highlander Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 We have a winner, someone has contacted me (from this Forum) and is sending their MO today. I know they will enjoy this 'classic' pistol.
Capn Bloody Sam Rackham Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Oh well. Maybe I'll get the next one. Ye don't have two, do ye?

highlander Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 Oh well. Maybe I'll get the next one. Ye don't have two, do ye? Sorry, this was the only one I had, and they are a bit rare. I have seen them on various on-line auctions (do a Google search for 'Japanese Tower Pistol' and you'll run across them).
