Phom 7 Dos Txhais | 44 Caliber

From my presonal collection, an antique Hmong firearm of 7 dos txhais with highly figured maple wood and brass barrel bands. Octagonal barrel in BEAUTIFUL, near flawless shape! This piece also has a very think barrel, making it relatively heavy for its size—but like all Hmoob flintlocks, still tapers to a very thin/light muzzle for great balance. The stock on this piece is new and the lock and barrel are originals. Includes lub tsuam pob, ciab mes, zeb ntais, and txoj hlua rub tus ncauj qa. 
 
Barrel and lock are in great working condition and sparks extremely well; this flintlock works reliably and has beenfired many times. Recommended maximum load of 60 grains of blackpowder only. 
 
Length of barrel: 48.5 inches (~6 dos txhais)
Length overall: 55.5 inches (~7 dos txhais)
Caliber: 44
Weight: 5 pounds 13 ounces

Flintlocks are considered "Antique Firearms," and not "Guns," by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and under the Federal Gun Control Act of 1968, and thus are federally unregulated. Therefore, you do not need any paperwork nor background checks for purchase. However, this does NOT apply in the jurisdictions of New Jersey, Illinois, Washington D.C. and New York City, where flintlocks are, per local law, considered "Guns" and thus must be registered. Therefore, we cannot ship to you if you live in New Jersey, Illinois, Washington D.C. or NYC—any orders to a home address in these jurisdictions will automatically be cancelled and refunded. As a disclaimer, please check your local ordinances and statutes to ensure compliance with all laws. We do not sell outside of the United States—all international orders will be automatically cancelled and refunded.
