The "Brown Bess" was one of the most renowned flintlock muskets ever produced. Introduced during the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714), the gun was produced for over a century and was one of the most significant firearms of the American Revolutionary War. The Continental Army was armed with the weapon at the start of hostilities and, as the war progressed, many more were manufactured locally. The musket was still in British service at the time of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe (1799-1815). It weighed a hefty fifteen pounds with its bayonet and fired a ball three quarters of an inch in diameter! This non-firing version is accurately detailed and comes complete with its removable bayonet.

Brown Bess
Great quality item at a glance. Mine came with a slightly loose barrel and the bayonet that came with it had no way to properly mount on the barrel save a tiny pointy screw that would scratch the barrel if moved around too much. Maybe I was just unlucky and other reproductions are much better built. Otherwise the quality is good for the price for a replica like this.

Denix Colonial Brown Bess Musket w/ bayonet
As a part of my recent downsizing of my rifle collection I sold a Springfield 1884 Trapdoor rifle that hung over my fireplace for years. I had trouble getting use to that space now being empty, so I purchased this Denix replica to fill that void. It looks great and I am glad I made this purchase.

Brown Bess Musket
I have the French Charleville musket, which is 72'' long with the bayonet and this beauty is 4'' longer. This gun is going to be hung over a 54'' wide oil painting that immediately draws your eyes to the wall. It's going to give a WOW factor to it. As with all the other weapons I've purchased from Replica Weapons, it's stunning. You'll be proud to have this placed on your wall also. As usual, shipping is just a few days to your door.

Brown Bess Rifle
Bought this for my son who is a history teacher. He loved the look and feel of the rifle but was disappointed that it didn’t have a removable ramrod. He had wanted to demonstrate how it was used to his students.
