Phom 4 Dos Txhais (5+ dos total) | 42 Caliber

Antique Hmong firearm of 4 dos txhais—measuring only the barrel. Circa 1900, however, the barrel looks to be slightly newer to the antique, based on the forging techniques used. Stock is made from absolutely stunning wood with high burl—often considered the most desireable wood! This is the most figured wood I have ever seen on an antique firearm and it is clear the maker was also a dedicated woodworker. Very small and lightweight stock. Four thi are brass alloys—one of them newly forged. The last thi looks to be silver. Tsuam pob included is new and made from rabbit fur.
 
Barrel is in flawless condition and antique is in overall amazing condition, considering its age. This flintlock still works and has been testfired. Recommended load of 30grains of blackpowder only. 
 
Length of barrel: 34.25 inches (~4.5 dos)
Length overall: 40 inches (~4.5 dos)
Caliber: 42
Weight: 2 lbs. 11.6 oz.

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.
