Question(s) About Converted Brown Bess’s

[FlinterNick]

Hello community

Questions about Brown Bess Conversions by the British Military.

1. Were these reproofed ?

2. Did the British use a cone in system or drum or rebreeched?

3. Was there any conformity? Or standard ordenannce parts used for conversions such as a specific third model hammer ?

4. Were there any conversions that also required the musket to be re-bored?

Thanks !

Apologies that I cannot answer your questions directly as I’m not at the house.
Hope this link can get you started.

Due to my untimely vehicle accident & this summer’s heat, have not been able to shoot my 1839 yet.

Get well, wganz,. I don't think there is any such thing as a "timely" vehicle accident.
