JAEGER RIFLE

The German Jaeger rifles originated as sporting weapons for upper class German foresters and huntsmen. They were first used by the British in the Americas during the French & Indian War when at least 12 were carried into action during the Battle of Monongahela in 1755. They continued to be used throughout the conflict. The Jaegers were again needed during the American Revolution in order to counter the American riflemen. Both British and German soldiers utilized the short, effective, Jaeger in significant numbers. The British even produced their own copy of the German Jaeger and sent over 1,000 to the colonies during the conflict. Our reproduction Jaeger rifle makes this important piece of military history available to the shooter or reenactor as an affordable price. It features a .65 caliber, octagonal, smoothbore barrel with falling leaf sight. The stock has a carved cheekpiece, a functional sliding patchbox, and an engraved thumbpiece.

Doglock Blunderbuss

From the late 1600’s forward, the Blunderbuss became the weapon of choice for close quarters combat and personal defense. The blunderbuss’ short barrel and wide mouth made loading while on horseback, riding on a carriage, or aboard a pitching ship’s deck easier to manage. Blunderbusses came in many forms and were used by the military and civilians alike.
