The Spanish Miquelet musket

A short video I made on the Spanish miquelet musket of the 18th century.

Pretty amazing, especially how your miquelet can change from being right handed to left handed.

Hint: when shooting selfies, select the reverse image or not shoot as a mirror.

Another nicely done video. That’s a nice musket and seems to have a fast ignition.
Nice kit, too. From the video you look quite period authentic and well appointed.
Is the musket a custom build or from a supplier?
One thing I think about is that sear releasing design. Obviously it worked well and so forth, but I wonder how long before that contact wore down.

Oh, and good music also

It is an India built gun, that I obtained from loyalist arms in Canada. As for the sear, it is quite robust and I don't forsee the sear wearing, but if it does, it will be much more easily identified and fixed, than conventional flintlocks.

Appreciate the kind response.
