Screw set for upgrading India made French military muskets

These cock screws are intented for improving the appearance of India made reproductions of French military muskets of the 1728 and 1746 regulation patterns. Too often the top jaw screw has an incorrect round and pierced heard rather than an elongated pear form; and the tumbler screw has a "bingo token" look rather than a low dome shape.

Our screws are patterned from original parts. The top jaw screw has a correct hand cut V notch. The thread is first cut on the lathe and hand smoothed with a die. Tumbler screw has a straight slot.

Lock plate not included

$20.00 | CA$26.00

Limited quantities. Lock not included.

Suitable for :

Discriminating General's M1746 French Infantry musket
Loyalist Arms' M1728 Infantry musket
Other muskets with a 15/16" and 18 TPI top jaw screw

Tips:

If needed, shorten the shank of the tumbler screw with a file or hackswaw.
Some DG's M1746 cock lower jaw were threaded with a taper tap (starter tap). Tightening the top jaw screw will be easier if the lower jam is rethreaded with a plug tap (5/16" and 18 TPI).
