The French were modernizing their armed forces at this time and decided they needed rifles to keep up with the other world powers. They designed a Cavalry Carbine with a 16" barrel and an Infantry Rifle with a 25 1/2" barrel. Both were .54 caliber rifled with tapered and flared octagon barrels to cut down on the weight. These were copied from originals in the Bryan Troop and Pierre Cayla Collection. The 1793 Infantry Rifle has superb balance and would make a fantastic hunting rifle. The lock plate measures 5 1/2" x 1". The throw of the cock is 1 5/8".

We stock many items, but each item is custom cast or made by us to the exact specifications of the originals parts, we have copied. Due to the investment casting process which we use there are sometimes delays due to this process which in turn requires patience from our customers, the average delivery time on our parts is between 60 and 90 days, if the parts you order are not in stock. We assure you that the quality of our parts is well worth any wait, as many of the items we make have never been offered by anyone before. If you are serious about the authenticity of your weapon then the time will be a small price to pay. Many of the pictures shown on this web site are of original pieces. We do not sell any original pieces on this web site only reproduction's of the original parts we have copied. If the item description does not say assembled then you are buying the castings of that particular item.
