The Rifle Shoppe has a British Wall Gun listed in their catalog.

My unit has a Long Range Musket built from the parts supplied by the Rifle Shoppe. You will have a very large musket that weighs about 40 pounds that has a 1" bore. I seriously doubt that any state will allow the use of that gun for hunting. It does have a place in my reenacting unit as a support arm for the artillery. In addition to the gun, a limber to carry the gun and provide a support structure to fire it are required. When we go to reenactments, the Long range Musket is certainly an attention getter and quite impressive in the firing demonstrations. We have set off many a car alarm at some events. The report is sharper than some cannons and that seems to get the attention of the car alarms if cars are parked close to the demonstration site.

There is a coolness factor to the Long Range Musket, but not a practicality factor unless you are defending a block house.
 
Here is a Long Range Musket in portable employment.
