Pattern 1816 French Light Cavalry Carbine This was a significant departure from the usually design of a carbine. In place of having to return the ramrod after firing each time, many a time dropping it in the heat of battle, this model was designed without a place for a ramrod. Instead the dashing hussar hung the ramrod with ease from his person, thus reportedly increasing the light cavalryman's rate of fire.
As the photographs attest, this replica is quite well assembled, complete with the appropriate lock plate markings of the royal arsenal. While the frizzen (hammer) is not case hardened and the vent is not drilled (read details below), its lock functions the same as the originals. A fine addition to any collection.

Our Guarantee
If upon receiving your musket you are not completely happy with your purchase, you may return it for a refund. All we ask is you cover the shipping costs. It has to be returned in two weeks of receipt and be in its original state (unaltered and unmodified).
Non-Firing State
We sell historically accurate muskets and pistols in a non-firing state for demonstration purposes. This allows us to comply with various local, state, national and international firearms regulations, along with shipping company policy restrictions. This means the product can be shipped right to your doorstep. A certified gunsmith may decide to alter a musket or pistol to a firing state by drilling the vent hole and test firing it. No need to remove the breech plug. We are not legally responsible for any changes from its present state. Please read our Conditions of Use and Legal Disclaimer. The customer is expected to be aware of the laws of their locality that govern products of this nature.
