My Charleville is a 1763 model converted to a 1776 model. The conversion was simply moving the bayonet lug from the bottom of the barrel to the top.
Many of the guys carry Long Land Pattern Brown Besses. One member carries a Short Land Pattern Bess.
A few carry blunderbusses.
The Charleville is a .69 as opposed to the .75 Brown Bess. Which means that the Brits had bigger balls than we did but it really didn't do them much good.
