Just placed an order for a Loyalist arms 1756 British Artillery Carbine. The Artillery Carbine was my second choice. I originally wanted a English Trade gun, but they are on back order.

Until recently I was mostly a BP cap and Ball revolver guy. Only BP rifle I owned was a inline modern rifle.

To test the waters I bought a Mowrey 12 gauge and now the 1756 Artillery carbine. I’m not into reenacting and mostly just enjoy shooting guns. I now have a percussion cap smoothbore and soon a flint lock smoothbore.

Anyone own one? If so, any suggestions or advice?

Never owned one. I was under the impression that Loyalist Arms were all smooth bore? I don’t know though. It’s just what I read on their site.
 
I have one of the earlier versions of the Loyalist Arms Artillery Carbine. The 1856 Artillery Carbine was a smoothbored and lighter version of the Long Land Pattern Musket. Barrel length was 42" and the bore was 16 gauge or 0.66 caliber. Some made their way to be issued to some Light Infantry Companies and the 42nd Highlanders.

The Loyalist version is considerably lighter than the Long Land Pattern musket. As I said, mine is an earlier version and they were getting it sorted out with some of the details. Mine is a 20 gauge. It is a reliable firearm that sparks well and is reliable. When you order one, make sure that it is of the proper gauge. Although for reenactment purposes being a 20 gauge is no handicap. At the present time Loyalist is listing all of their versions as being 0.65 caliber.

You're on the right path! At this rate you'll be running out of places to put them!

Learn about fitting a flint, and the way geometry affects lock performance. This forum is a tremendous resource for such things. Do you have mainspring vise? If not, I would get one. Post pics of the carbine when you get it, Congrats!

I’ll wait to receive it, but I’m probably looking at at .62 round ball mold.
