Gun Building & Parts

Attention prospective customers. It is important to remember that The Militia House is NOT a traditional gun shop. Most of our guns are commission pieces. Our customers know our work and craftsmanship. When they are in need of custom gun building they approach us with a project, and after may hours of discussion, research, prototype work we hand build a gun for them. We do not maintain a warehouse of parts and prefabricated guns. Our guns are NOT made anywhere else and shipped in for sale. ALL of our guns are hand made by us with 100% American products. We use high quality American steel, American wood for stocks, and they are hand assembled by Militia House craftsman for our customers. All of our projects are special to us. We view each commission piece as a special order and tirelessly spend our time researching and making each one perfect for our customers. If you have been searching for a special piece or have been dreaming about having a weapon built just for you then WE are the shop for you. Contact us to discuss your next project and special 100% American made firearm.

French Tulle Marine Musket circa 1743

This reproduction French Tulle Marine contract musket dates from around 1743. This musket features a 44 inch long barrel that is 69 caliber as per the Tulle contract. It is similar to the model 1728 St. Anne and Charleville with a few minor changes. The barrel is 2 inches shorter than the standard army contract musket, and the stock features the "Tulle" butt plate. It again differs from the standard army musket because it does NOT have a bridled frizzen. One of the biggest differences between this musket and its standard army counterpart is this musket retained the octagon to round barrel whereas the army has an octagonal barrel for only 2-4 inches and then it fades into a round tapered barrel. This musket is very light weight and comfortable to fire. It features simple lines that are pleasing to the hand and eye.
