Do you use a musketoon in carbine or musket matches? What is the difference between a musketoon and a carbine?

Steve,
The Musketoon is used in carbine matches. The musketoon to me is one in the same, just a front stuffer.

Hi Francis,
Thanks for the info.
The musketoon to me is one in the same, just a front stuffer.
I shoot a "Richmond Carbine" in the carbine match, and it is a front stuffer, too. So you have breech-loading and muzzle-loading carbines. Are all musketoons muzzle-loading? I would assume so, from the name.

I would never insult my Richmond carbine by calling it a Musketoon.

A musketoon just has a shorter barrel: 24" vs. 32" or more for Enfields.
