Picked up a Maynard Carbine wile also doing some work site surveys down in Winchester Va. part of an estate/collection of an NSSA shooter who passed away
This is a late war/post war build and more a shooter than collectible. I still plan to look for more of a collectible at the next MACA show that happens.
This shoots cartridges loaded with powder and lubed bullet and has a small hole in the back for the musket cap to ignite.
Accuracy was pretty decent for short sight radius at 50 yards. I plan to just use it to shoot offhand at 25 busting clays on a board.
I picked it up with some pre loaded plastic cartridges and already had some brass ones. Also got a mold. A bunch of cast hard and soft bullets as well as a sizer/ loader to size and push into the case. Cases are reusable and don’t need to be resized or Claire’s or anything. Just clean, load and push a bullet home
I lubed up some of the already cast hard lead ones. Guy had 3 batches. 5HB, 10HB and 12HB
Pic is 50 yards with front hand supported on a rest.
