Stop in for a cup of coffee

Yup. Surely the 18th cent version of a 'firepower' weapon.
And I'll tell you I was nowhere capable of even 3 shots a minute a today, never mind four. LOL. I just wanted to hit the target. :)
Lots of futzing will be needed with the lock to get it working smoother and reliably. Hole through the hammer (frizzen) isn't even square to barrel. Also I'm going to try turning down the ramrod. Kindof like repro parts for our cars - alsmost never quite as good as the originals.

Yeah not even close. Originals are so much lighter in weight although the military contract muskets were most likely hit or miss (pun intended) No interchangeable parts and each a bit unique.

My Harper's Ferry 1795 .69 (reproduction) is on loan to the Park ... but I have my 1803 Contract Rifle here that has the Corps of Discovery modifications to it.
