    Short 1816 musket

    Does any one have any information on an 1816 flintlock musket that appears to be armory produced with a 33" barrel?
    Thanks

    Standing order in the Confederacy was to cut damaged and captured firearms to the longest length practical.... So it would not be uncommon to find any and everything modified by either an arsenal and or an "infield" salvage depot....

    My father has an early rifled H&P Musket that matches up perfectly with what we call an 30" Macon... but it is not a 1842...
