Is this musket approved

Can anyone tell me if the Armi Jager Zouave is approved. I did not see it on the approved list. Thanks, Scott Lynch

Scott -

I'm still playing "catch-up" since returning home from the Nationals, hence my lack of a more timely response. I received your PM with the same question you have posed here. So, for everyones benefit I will answer it here.

The Armi Jager Zouave was never submitted to the N-SSA for consideration of being given a Production Approval. That is why you can't find it on the Approved Arms List. However, they can be given an Individual Approval, but each one must be inspected individually by a representative of the Small Arms Committee. This is because they seem to have been made by different contractors in Italy and do vary quite a bit from rifle to rifle. That is my experience, anyway.

Scott, the easiest solution for you would to make arrangements with Wade Huffman to look at it for you at one of the Regional skirmishes at the Fort.
