Description
This M1803 Harper's Ferry Rifle is a beautiful reproduction of the originals. Built from castings taken off original muskets, this piece started as an unassembled kit from the Rifle Shoppe. The builder of this musket did a beautiful job in assembling this kit, and his attention to detail has produced a 1:1 scale reproduction of an original in both size and weight. One look at this musket and it's immediately clear that it share's very little in common with it's Italian or Indian produced counterparts. The stock and furniture are much more graceful and organically-shaped than other reproductions and the finishing work is in a class all it's own.
The lock is marked "Harper's Ferry 1803" just like the originals and all the engraving and lock markings are crisp and legible - not over sanded like many Rifle Shoppe kits. The lock throws a fair spark and the cock holds solid on both full and half cock. The stock shaping is very finely executed and all the dimensions are all the same as originals. The stock also had a hand scraped finish and finished with a correct browned barrel.
The fully rifle .54 caliber barrel is in great shape and the bore features sharp rifling and no pitting. The furniture is nicely finished and polished to match the rest of the rifle.
