As has often been said a Brown Bess musket was the military grade assault weapon of its day.
I much prefer the French pattern musket! 👍😉

I’ll defer to your expertise. What’s your take on British made long arms? I’ve read that most were preferable to states side rifles built at that time or shortly after but it’s out of my realm. IMO they were clunkier looking and lacked the lines and beauty but I have no idea if they were better or not from a practical standpoint.

The first muskets adopted by the US after independence were on that pattern.
Yes,They were simply referred to as the French Pattern. War dept had lots of leftover parts after the conflict. Many of the early type I, 1795 Springfield muskets utilized surplus French locks and parts.

According to Sleepy Joe, people couldn't buy a cannon when the 2nd Amendment was passed.....
Um... yeah, they could. And did.
.
And I do believe anyone of a mind to could build their own rifle, out of parts they got from wherever or made themselves.
Sheesh.
