HISTORY: In use from 1717 to 1816, The Charleville carbine musket saw service in the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, the French and Indian War, American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.

The longer Charleville musket used in the American Revolution was based on the 1763 model--a stronger weapon than the 1717 original, but one that proved too heavy to be practical and saw further refinements in 1766. The .69 caliber Charleville was still smaller and lighter than the .75 caliber British 'Brown Bess' musket.

Thanks to the influence of Lafayette--America's foremost French ally-- large numbers of Charleville muskets and carbines were imported into the United States for use by the Continental Army during the American Revolution.
