That is a very good rendition of an armory weapon of that era. Did you make your own varnish or use a commercial product?

NICE looking rifle

I never did the research were the rifles of that era charcoal blued or browned? I have heard both but never taken the time to research


As usual just my $.02

Barrels were browned on the rifles; bright on the muskets.

Exemplary work. I feel very fortunate that I'm able to glean at least a bit of knowledge from talent folks like yourself.

Sorry for my ignorance, but is the lock plate an original or reproduction?

Only a handful of first model 1803s still exist; it is a repro.

Nobody can say for sure, but the first assignment for the prototype for these rifles MAY have been the Lewis and Clark expedition.
