Can’t see any details on the gun without signing up. The issue I see is its a musket.

Here’s the pictures. Description is worthless. Pictures are sparse.

Hi,
I won’t bore you with the sordid details, but I’ve had a bad experience before with this FFL handling auctions. Against my better judgement, I won two antique winchester lots and now the FFL is wanting background check, 3 day waiting period, etc… I was already feeling like I overbid on these guns and now I’m wondering if it is worth the hassle.
Would you consider buying this gun given the limited pictures, $3000 price plus expenses, and FFL hassles? Please pick apart what you see and all comments are appreciated. TIA

The 66’s aren’t my specialty so I’ll let others weigh in but the price is fair assuming nothing is fake on them. I bought 8 rifles last night in that auction and would have bought more but those FFL fees are outrageous. Congrats if you spoke to the FFL today as I could never even get them to answer the phone. If they are shipping to another FFL the background check is BS on top of an already insane $85 transfer fee.
