Original Danish / Norwegian Percussion Converted Rifled Musket Model 1769/1841 with Doglock Safety - Serial 720 Hotchkiss MG Action: Lever Action Falling BlockOriginal Item. Only One Available. This is pretty unusual, starting life as the Danish Flintlock 18mm smooth bore Musket of 1769, fitted with an early Doglock type safety on the hammer. The lock does have a true half cock position, which may have been added when it was later to be converted to a Percussion rifle. This conversion most likely occurred in Norway, where it was fitted with a rifled barrel of 40 inches long. The overall length is 55 1 2
