Loyalist Arms, is
pleased to introduce our new 1807
Sergeants carbine.
These 1807 carbines, were designed
for non commissioned officers
in the British forces during the
Napoleonic period, the 1812 period
and beyond in both America and
Europe. The 1770 model was used
throughout the Rev. war and was
replaced by the 1807. They were
especially prized by the light
infantry units, rangers, and the
artillery units, who required
a light musket that was easier
to handle, much like a fusil.
The 1770 barrel is
39" long, and is available
in either 62 or 66 cal., while the
1807 is 37" long. The steel
rammer and sling swivels are standard
features on both.
Flashguard is available
for an additonal cost of $6.20 CDN
/ $4.00 US, and must be requested.
The above picture
is a close up of the breech and
wrist area, showing the oval thumb
piece for the 1770's sergents version,
which we still carry, but are slowly
phasing out. The 1807 has no thumb
piece, but the lock is identical.
Has proper ordinance marks on breech
& barrel. The 1770's version
has "WILLETS / 1762" stamped
on the tail of the lock plate. The
1807 has simply, "TOWER"
stamped on the lock plate and no
date.
The above picture
shows a rear angle shot, which shows
the nice lines of the fusil / carbine.
All hardware is basically down sized
Brown Bess furniture, just like
the originals. These guns are very
slim and graceful & handle very
well, and are a pleasure to fire.
Sideplate on the
1770's version is very similar to
the later Baker rifle. Has the correct
beaver tail relief carving around
the tang. The 1807 is almost identical.
We ship anywhere. Please inquire
for rates. Touch holes are drilled
unless customer requests they not
be done.
