    Pattern 1776 Rifle

    That's cool! From what I've gathered from period sources, up to 5 rifles were issued to the light infantry companies of most regiments. For instance, the 40th Foot's light company were issued two. These light company riflemen appear to have been assembled into a provisional rifle platoon or...

    Pattern 1776 Rifle

    Dave, You are absolutely correct. I'm interested in the Huhnstock version of the P76 rifle.

    Leonard Day French Fowler

    Wasn't aware until recently that the late Mr. Day made a French Fowler/fusil. Might anyone have pictures? I'd like to know the general time period his particular piece fits in. Thanks!

    Jaeger Kit

    Dunlap Woodcrafts offers a Jaeger and it is essentially what you'd get from TOTW.

    Any known Canadian flintlocks?

    The most I can contribute is that Kevin Gladysz's book "The French Trade Gun in North America: 1672-1759" shows a French fusil stocked in maple. It doesn't quite follow the lines of established fusil stocks coming from France and the use of maple, per the book description, indicates that the gun...

    Check out Dunlap Woodcrafts, Jim Chambers Flintlocks, or RE Davis for a Jaeger kit as well.

    Who makes the best Type G Trade gun kit

    I was always intrigued by (and would love if someone offered) the early 1700s Utility Muskets: two or three screw, flat lock (sometimes doglock), ash or beech stock, musket bore, with only two ramrod pipes and no entry pipe. There are pictures in Bailey's British Military Small Arms. Closest...

    I wish I had photos of the full rifle.

    Pattern 1776 Rifle

    Definitely appreciate the contributions so far. They are a graceful rifle. To be more specific, I'm looking for anyone who has knowledge of the parts needed for the Huhnstock (Germanic) P76 or some who has assembled this version. My understanding is the trigger guard, butt plate, lock, and side...

    Pattern 1776 Rifle

    I'd say they had a healthy respect for their capabilities, from the perspective of both sides of the muzzle. DeWitt Bailey's "British Military Flintlock Rifles" is an invaluable resource to understanding their capabilities and construction.

    Pattern 1776 Rifle

    Some years ago I saw photos of a reproduction Huhnstock P76 Rifle that someone brought to the Fort Frederick Market Fair. My understanding is that someone in Pennsylvania has the original to cast parts from. I know that there are a few reproductions of the British made P76 rifle. I'd very much...

    Tradition’s musket kits vs TRS

    I think TRS has reduced their order-to-fulfillment times. May be worth giving them a call. They're super friendly and knowledgeable.
