A new item designed with the AM. Civil War reenactor in mind.
These muskets would also have been used in the Crimean war,

These muskets saw extensive use from the adoption of the percussion cap, until well after the
Snyder Enfield cartridge rifle was adopted by the British army. They were manufactured up till 1851.
They were used in conflicts from Europe to Asia, the Middle East, Africa and North America.
These guns were the first official percussion cap muskets issued to the British forces.
