Brown Bess Flintlock Musket - Black Powder Rifle, .75 Caliber, Steel Barrel, American Walnut Stock, Stud Sights, Includes Ramrod

Product Description

The Brown Bess Flintlock Musket was used by British troops during the colonization of American territories. It also saw action during the War of 1812 and during the Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848. This is an exact reproduction manufactured by Pedersoli in Italy. Like the originals, this smooth-bore .75-caliber flintlock features a 54” American Walnut one-piece stock in a satin finish, which is accented by beautiful inlaid brass furniture, and a steel barrel, lock and ramrod with 10x32 male threads. The 42” smooth bore (3/4” diameter), round-tapered barrel is 1 1/4” at the breech to 9/10” at the muzzle. The Brown Bess is engineered with a front steel stud sight, which doubles as a bayonet lug. The flintlock musket is designed to use 1” flints and has a 2 1/2” drop and a single-style trigger with a 14 1/2” trigger pull. The flintlock ignition has a sidelock that incorporates the traditional flint and frizzen and the musket has a recommended load of 70 grains of black powder and a patched .735 round ball. The Brown Bess Flintlock Musket is 58 1/4” in overall length and weighs 9 lbs.
