Hello you all
I'm looking for more info on this antique French Musket
Thanks

Assuming that lock is 6.75 inches or so and the bore is .69-72ish, it looks like a post 1763 restocking of mostly 1728/46 musket parts with some 1763ish parts in the mix (sideplate/buttplate_. Stock profile recommends +/-1790s or so. detail shots on the buttplate and triggerguard are lacking, it may have m1754 parts too but hard to tell.

I concur. I’m thinking it’s a later 1754 lock though. Wish there was a way to tell if the wood was European or American walnut.
