Product Overview
Inspired by the Charleville Mod. 1763 musket, it was the first military gun produced in the arsenal of Springfield, Massachusetts. The War Ministry secreatry, Timothy Pickering, suggested the French musket to start production with such to use some of the parts stock in the Springfield's warehouses since 1794 assigned as deposits and gunsmithing for the gun repairs. The Model 1795 was produced in about 85,000 units until 1814. This reproduction faithfully copies an original manufactured between 1799 and 1802; all the furniture are made of steel and the stock is made of walnut.
