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
At least the ones that got accepted by the royal armories worked! Some of the machining on this one is mediocre - off center and off kilters holes. The ones we had from the 1970s were generally better in that respect.
There is no taper on this ramrod, makes it real tight when dirty. Was looking at a newer Japanese repop and that one, while cruder in many ways, had a better ramrod.
