H&R Springfield Stalker .45.

Post by gamekeeper »

As I keep seeing our friend Nath having TOO MUCH fun with his front stuffers, :mrgreen: I decided to get me another traditional percussion musket, just missed out on a H&R Springfield Stalker, smooth bored in .45 :evil: probably will never see another one over here. :twisted: :twisted: .
However I will continue the search, you never know :|
Anybody ever have a Stalker .45 or .58 ? I liked the look of it, it resembles a 73 trapdoor but without the trapdoor.
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

Thanks Rusty but the H&R huntsman is a different model, the huntsman is a break action muzzleloader that I believe had safety issues

I remember those they had the same lock plate as the the H&R trapdoor model with quarter ,half and full cock settings.Numrich arms use to sell an instant muzzle loader kit along the same lines.It consisted of a muzzleloading barrel and percussion hammer that fitted original trapdoors and I believe they were in 58 cal

They came in .45 or .58 caliber. They show up on GB from time to time, always too pricey for me.
If I squint, my TC New Englander kind of looks like one. They usually are reasonably priced, especially if the bore is bad.
There are several people who will smooth bore a barrel for a fair price.
