Project Appleseed

I am in the market now for a replica brown bess and I was wondering if anyone here had one and had any suggestions for producer or places to buy it from etc. Non-fireable is fine for me, I just want realistic weight, bayonet, and preferably a functioning lock. After doing some poking around on the internet Denix replicas has popped up quite often. Does anyone know if they're good quality or if there are better alternative makers? I appreciate any input!

The above link is Access Heritage. They sell reproductions that are non firing. When you get your piece get a gunsmith familiar with muzzleloaders to install a touchhole liner. They can be simply drilled but the liner gives better ignition.

I bought a Charleville from them and sometimes take it to events. It's a big hit.

You might also want to check out Veteran Arms, who sell a large variety of muzzle loading reproduction firearms including multiple variants of the Brown Bess  (1748, Dublin Castle, 1769/75, and 1795).

I do not own any of them but they have come highly recommended by someone who does have several of their products.

Someday, when I get all growed up, I want to 1795's to display crossed like the Infantry insignia. In front of a big blue oval with gold lettering saying US ARMY INFANTRY.
