Taylor/Pedersoli 1816 HARPERS Ferry Colt CONV Case Hardened .69 41.75" Barrel

Pedersoli U.S. Model 1816 Harpers Ferry Percussion Colt Conversion Musket .69 Caliber

The U.S. Model 1816 Flintlock Musket was made by Harpers Ferry and Springfield arsenals from 1816 until 1884 and by various other contractors during those years. The musket had the highest product of any U.S. Flintlock musket and, converted to percussion, saw service in the Civil War. N/SSA approved. One piece full stock of European walnut is satin oil finished. The furniture is left in the white as the originals were. The barrel is 42" long and is .69 caliber smoothbore. Lock plate is marked as the originals with an eagle over "U.S." and dated 1816 on the tail with "Harpers Ferry". This conversion uses a Colt style conversion. In place of the vent hole a drum and nipple (5/16x24) has been added. The flintlock hammer, frizzen and frizzen spring are removed and original screw holes plugged, but still visible. The pan is ground down with only a small portion remaining to support the drum. The percussion hammer is the round faced style typical of the Colt conversion. Made by Pedersoli in Italy.
