I undertook a project to retrovert an Armisport M1842 percussion smoothbore musket to look like an H&P conversion of an M1840 conversion. The real meat and potatoes of this project was the creation of a new breech to screw onto the Armisport barrel (very much like Hewes and Phillips did when they converted the flintlock guns to percussion). I proofed with 140 grains 3F Goex and two .678 round balls.
