Harpers Ferry 1816 Musket
Today, I picked up an unfired reproduction 1816 Harpers Ferry .69 caliber musket that looks exactly like a Charleville. It had been sitting in a gun shop for years. A reproduction Charleville lists for over $1,400.00 today. I got the Harpers Ferry for about half that price with the box, video, bayonet and manual. Take care...

Hey Joe
You ever do any business with Rightnour Muzzleloading in Mingoville Pa.? Just wondering. I like to do business with reputable firms. They have a bunch of goodies I'd like to order. Best wishes, Bill I'll bet that Musket is a Beauty.

Joe,
Exactly a year ago I cleaned up an ORIGINAL Harpers Ferry Arsenal arm as you described. I cleaned it front to back. I advised the owner not to fire it. Adam

1816 Harpers Ferry Musket
Joe,
I have always been fond of the .69 caliber Charleville. The 1816 muskets were made at Springfield Armory and Harpers Ferry from 1816 to 1844. In fact, quite a few were used in the Civil War. Good catch. All the best... Gil
