French 1777 Model Infantry Musket - An IX Version (MTS-006) This model was the last in a long line of modifications to the 1728 model French Infantry Musket commonly referred to as the "Charleville" musket (named after one of the arsenals that manufactured them). Some of the unique elements of this model are the finger ridges on the trigger guard, the brass frizzen, and the cheek piece carved in the stock's butt. As mentioned this is the AN IX, or year 9, Napoleonic version with a straighten frizzen cover and slightly different front band. The .66 calibre barrel is 44 3/4 inches long and the musket's total length is 60 inches. The lock plate has the St. Etienne arsenal markings, along with the appropriate stampings on the breech. This musket was used by Napoleon's infantry during the 1st Empire. As for North America, it would have seen limited service in the later part of the American Revolution. As well, this musket (but with an iron frizzen) was used by parts of Upper Canada's militia at the beginning of the War of 1812.
As the photographs attest, this replica is quite well assembled with a case hardened frizzen cover (hammer) producing good sparks. The seamless tempered barrels are made of high-carbon steel (type:BS970 no.080M40) and the breeches are threaded. We use a cyanide case-hardening factory process that makes sparking both more reliable and longer lasting. Presently no other musket provider uses this technique.
As with all our other flintlocks, the vent is not drilled so we can ship easily to your door throughout North America and to Europe and the UK. Aside from that they are exactly like the originals. A fine addition to any collection.
