This French flintlock rifle saw service on the European battlefields of the Napoleonic wars. Modeled after the French 1763 musket this famous rifle was used extensively throughout the American Revolution. Stamped St. Etienne on the lock plate this impressive piece measures over 72" with bayonet attached. It was used very effectively by the disciplined French infantry, who were highly trained in its use both as a firearm and, with the bayonet fitted, as a thrusting weapon at close quarters. This non-firing version is accurately detailed and has been used in several movies in infantry battle scenes. A great wall decoration. Note: bayonet does not lock in place.

Charleville Flintlock with bayonet
This is one long rifle, with the bayonet you better have a big wall to put it on. Excellent reproduction, complements my 3 band Enfield and Kentucky Long Rifle. Fast shipping and great customer service.

Cheaper cost than others and fast delivery
Ordered the replica Charleville Musket, and got it fast. It was cheaper than other companies, and it looks great, and was not damaged in shipping. The only thing that would be better, was if the ramrod was able to come out, instead of being screwed onto the gun. Overall, though, very satisfied with the rifle!

Denix Colonial Charleville Replica Musket
The only thing I think needs improving is the barrel finish. If it could be aged or patinaed to match the lock and trigger it would look better. Overall an excellent reproduction and will make a great wall hanger for what I need.
