1763 French Dragoon Muskets
The French kept the dragoon musket throughout
the flint period. In 1763 it became the same size as the standard issue
musket with just a slightly slimmer wrist and butt. Basically the only major
difference from this model and forward is the bands and that it has all
brass mountings except the butt plate and middle band. All other parts are
the same as the Infantry Musket. It has a 44 3/4" barrel, available in .69
caliber.
During the 1770-1777 period it also underwent the same changes as the
standard issue musket with the lock. The 1770-1776 used the straight iron
pan and the 1777 to the year 9 used the slanted brass pan. On the year 9 the
barrel was shortened to 42 5/8", the caliber remained the same.
