Dreyse Zündnadelfüsiliergewehr

have buy a v.Dreyse needle fire double gun and in the same estate is also a v.Dreyse M 60 Fusilier needle fire rifle I have now at home for some days to think about it.
have the feeling the rifle is to good to let it go
Fusilier's in the prussian army were light infantry close as possible to the elite Jäger batalions. when the needle fire rifle came into the army the Jäger were strongly against because they dont wish that the common line infantry get a gun with rifled barrel. so the Jäger hold on their old muzzle loader Jägerstutzen so long as possible. this way the Fusiliers get a special needle fire rifle before them and when the Dreyse Jäger rifle M 65 came to the Jäger it was very similar to this model. well, I am looking for a Jägerrifle M 65 but they are very expensive today

lets take a look on the M 60





128 cm long,









have a .630 roundball mould that will work in the dreyse, next to the muzzle a 9mm Parabellum case







the Dreyse bolt with a Mauser 98 bolt




side by side with a M 98






makes my longest bolt action, a 9,3x64 with a 65 mm long barrel very handy




two needle fire cartridges with a 9,3x64 for comparision




the needle




reminds me on an older project waiting for a long time now
years ago I got a Chassepot Needle fire carbine barelled action and start building a Jäger rifle in the general style of the M 65 Dreyse Jäger rifle but much lighter and slim. maybe I should make it ready this year








so this is the Fusilier rifle, not a Jäger rifle but very similar
the Jäger rifle have a octagonal barrel and a double set trigger and is 10 cm shorter
