Well, after attempting to Contact a well known manufacturer of Fusils in western NY state, And with help from Redwolf,and not being able to obtain parts for a fusil anytime soon, I said "heck with it ,I'll make it my self"
This is what I came up with:Not a copy of any particular model per say.But one resembling the "grenadier"or "common" musket of the early 1700's, I gave it the appearence of a fusil that had been in New France for quite a while,repaired buttplate/sling swivels, & a refitted bayonet from a latter model.The stock is hand scraped,as well as aged with wear marks,dinks & dents,as the iron also.
I don't think it turned out bad,but theres something that just doesn't "do it" for me.
