MALAYSIAN MATCHLOCK MUSKET FOR COMMENT

[Cerjak]

Hi RICK and estcrh,
The barrel don't have any marks and I'm pretty sure that the breech can't be removed.
The musket is already reassembled but I will check again later.

Cerjak, I think this image may explain the chain, it seems to be for holding the match cord.
