P-1841 Early Model Brunswick Officer’s Parts Musket



Quantity: 

Customer Rating: 7 ratings

The British Brunswick Rifle with back action lock was officially adopted in 1837 with a 36" barrel incorporating two groove rifling for a belted ball. Trials continued to experiment with multiple grooved rifling and eventually, in 1841, a smooth-bore version was experimentally developed. In effect an inane trial in that the whole point of the adoption of the Brunswick was the increased accuracy of a rifled barrel. (Conceivably these trials were for comparison purposes for accuracy and rate of fire.) The “manufactured” smooth Brunswicks were soon abandoned and now are only a footnote to military firearms history.

These Gurkha made examples were found in Military Storage in their homeland of Nepal. These particular Martini Infantry Rifles were used by the Gurkha detachments mostly in the Indian Sub Continent and are offered in half rifles or parts guns. Each rifle is offered totally as found, incomplete, broken, un-cleaned and un-refurbished. Totally covered and caked with dried on grease, dirt and rust, they can be used for parts, rebuilt or displayed as found. No guarantees as to what use or damage may be found after more than 100 years of neglect and storage. 

Each gun will feature:
The barrel and action (which may be incomplete.)  There is no guarantee for any other parts.  

Condition: usually show rust & pitting and be covered in dirt as originally stored.  All sales are final, so please do not order this if you are not prepared to receive an incomplete, broken parts gun with various missing parts.

Note: These guns were manufactured before 1898 and are therefore legally considered antiques. It is totally legal to own these without a U.S. Federal Firearms License (FFL) and they can be shipped to most countries around the world.

Recieved two of these and they are in quite good condition. One is complete and the other was missing two barrel keys and the upper sling swivel. However, both have the rear sights that I had specifically requested. The rusty and frozen (at half cock) locks were detached( no side nail/screw) and obviously not from these two particular guns, but they are the correct type. Overall, these parts guns are as advertised, and I am quite pleased. Thanks AC!

Exactly what I purchased it for;PARTS. All the parts were there. I only needed a few brass items. Overall it was in very good shape. The barrel is excellent, rod was good and all the brass hardware was there, even the brass trigger guard was there, but it was the "Late" model guard and damaged (easy reppair if needed), partial stock was in excellent condition. The Early & Late Models are the same with the exception of the stocks & trigger guards. Lock plate & hammer even cleaned up well and are very good. Well worth the $ in parts alone. C GREEN

After soaking in grease remover, I discovered a nearly new action with no rust or pitting. The lock is perfect too. If I can fabricate a buttstock I would have a very nice example of a Brunswick. This is a smoothbore musket, there is no rifling. What was left of the stock cleaned up very well. The stock was broken at the wrist and most of the trigger guard was still there. I think I'll get a rifled 1837 next and I hope it's as nice.
