Thanks guys. I know the general consensus is that smoothbore muskets were inaccurate, perhaps intentionally so, in a large part for ease of reloading; but I have trouble believing a gentleman of means would accept something so pedestrian as a 75 cal musket with a 69 caliber ball, nor would he always want a rifle, when a compromise was possible. Later when rifles were more common in the percussion period, something Paradoz-ish seems likely, even as a regulated set of smoothbores.

Anyway it seems like something Id want
