According to DeWitt Bailey the first Light Infantry Fusil was Lord Loudouns 1745 pattern. These fusils used a very unique pattern of furniture. Basically these are a smaller, light weight version of the full size musket. The one we reproduced here is the latter version with the 1756 pattern lock. It has a 42" tapered round barrel, in .66 caliber. It was set up for a wooden rammer. These are very slim weapons and handle more like fowling pieces than military guns. The lock plate measures 6" x 1 1/6". 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.
