You could build one.It looks generic. But I don’t care, it can be restocked ! The main thing is a few are being imported, I’ll settle for just the locks being available!

It's a replica of an early 18th century spanish military musketBut what is it supposed to be a replica of?
The earliest Spanish musket commonly known of is the model 1752, which used a French style lock and 3 barrel bands similar to the French arms. The same style was changed back to a miquelet style in 1791. The lock on this particular musket seems to be copied from a Catalan civilian fowler from the early 19th century. Unfortunately there isn’t much written on early Spanish martial guns other than Brinckerhoff & Chamberlain’s 1972 work.It's a replica of an early 18th century spanish military musket
Here Is a Miquelet carbine dated 1789 which has very similar features to the loyalist arms reproduction.The earliest Spanish musket commonly known of is the model 1752, which used a French style lock and 3 barrel bands similar to the French arms.

The pictures are first the India copy, the second the 1800 fowler, the third the 1791 lock.
Except the 2 barrel bands (common) and the different shape of the lock plate. And it’s certainly not early 18th century. Cut that stock to a Catalan style and it would be more believable as an early pre 1752 musket.Here Is a Miquelet carbine dated 1789 which has very similar features to the loyalist arms reproduction.
