What’s Included
- 21.5-inch socket bayonet
This Type II configuration includes military-pattern sights, solid clamping barrel bands tightened by screws (no band-spring inlets), and a bolster without a clean-out screw. The front sight blade is mounted on a base that also serves as the bayonet lug, matching the military pattern of the period.
The 40-inch round barrel wears a bright in-the-white finish and is marked "PEDERSOLI" and "MADE IN ITALY," accompanied by Italian proof marks. The lockplate bears the U.S. eagle and "U.S. SPRINGFIELD," and the rifle is import-marked "NAVY ARMS CO. RIDGEFIELD N.J.
U.S.A."
It is a percussion-cap, muzzleloading, single-shot rifle with iron sights. The hardwood, full-length military-pattern stock includes sling swivels and provides a 13.5-inch length of pull for a traditional shouldering feel.
As a Davide Pedersoli reproduction, it delivers the visual and functional hallmarks of the original service musket while retaining clear modern proof and import markings. The included socket bayonet complements the rifle’s military configuration.
