I love the internet for this. In a world of billions, there will be at least one person who has decided to detail whatever you're interested in.

I find the attempt at historical accuracy between the indian made guns compared to other higher priced replicas amazing. Am often much happier in my purchase of the indian made models when choosing to make modifications.

I been tempted to buy an Indian musket. As for Pedersoli muskets I bought an 1816 flintlock Pedersoli and found the lock was much smaller than an original 1816 a friend of mine had. Spending alot of money on a brand name doesn't mean it is historically accurate.

Just pulling out original parts so casually, great success

Well done, a very erudite analysis! Even if we don't care enough to change them, we should always be aware of the differences between our replicas and the originals. I have to say I am very tired of the "thickness" of many modern replicas because they affect the balance and handling. I have a EuroArms P-1853 Enfield, and compared to an original it is heavy and clumsy, and that does affect shooting.

Ever since having discovered yalls channel a couple years ago I've wanted a 1766 charleville musket
-
Great comparison. Wish the old one could talk.

The replicas are beefier by about 10-15%. Plenty of room for treating these replicas as a kit. I am currently totally redoing my sea service pistol...losing 10-15% of steel/brass and restocking in walnut. Thanks for the video!

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and information
-
Good side by side analysis... I am finally home from Guilford Courthouse... catching up on my youtube viewing...

I believe its pronounced AN for Annee (year IX) and not A and N. Don't mean to be critical. Your original is very nice and the Indian repro is not bad - just a little heavy in the stock as you pointed out. I used to reenact and sometimes shoot. I am just too wobbly walking nowadays. 10:12

Another great video. Your depth of knowledge is, as always, impressive. I like your facts based comparison that points out differences without belittling the Indian product, and your recognition of their efforts to produce a reasonably accurate reproduction for the consumer market.

Good video Ethan...... Great information
-
I thing thatβs why they made different so as no to be passed off as originals . Notice trigger is more forward . Is that a problem!Still hand made like originals would that be correct? Great program I will get one . Recommend the Indian musket and can you get replacement parts ! Here in uk they are holed and proof marked

I'm an Indian and it's crazy how you can buy these on the other corner of the planet, but if I buy this it'll be a felony.
-
Thanks, its a beautiful flintlock

Napoleon's musket. Over seven MILLION were made all over Europe. The different manufacturers account for these minor differences and more.
-
Outstanding! Thanks for another great and detailed comparison. The Indian made musket looks robust, but the original was probably much more handier to lug and live with in the field for the average soldier. Both seem like attributes to me. ππ

You such nice work π π thanks for making the video.

Your barrel band springs were made very well on your Indian gun and look great. I think my Charleville may have been made in a hurry since my bands and springs don't look quite as nice as yours. Very cool to see the original/repro side by side.
