    Current options for a long land pattern bess?

    I found years ago that it is better to assemble a Rifle Shoppe lock yourself than to have them do it.

    Current options for a long land pattern bess?

    The only way to get an accurate French musket is to order the parts from The Rifle Shoppe and either build it yourself or have it built by someone who is very knowledgeable about those particular types of guns.

    What is a good length for an American longrifle ?

    If you are interested in what was used in the 18th century, then take a look at "Rifles of Colonial America" bu George Shumway. Two volumes. That will give you a good picture of the late 18th century. After 1800 a number of things changed. Depends on what you are interested in.

    I have a question for the Smoothbore crowd

    A fusil fin de chasse with a 46" Long Hammock barrel in .620 makes a nice gun. Note that a lot of barrels are made in 5/8 bore which is .625. The difference is that a .610 ball is just not as snug in the bore as with a .620. I shoot it unpatched with a wad over the ball to keep it in place...

    My Custom Fussil de Chase

    I would add that, if you can, remove the carving in front of the lock.

    Hello from the mountains of Western North Carolina!

    Welcome from the upstate of SC. You need to check out the French Broad Rifles. They are a great group. I go there when I can.
