Marin le Bourgeoys created the first true flintlock guns for King Louis XIII shortly after his accession in 1610. During the 17th century, flintlock muskets were produced in a wide range of models. In 1717, a flintlock musket for the French infantry was standardized. This was the first standard flintlock be issued to all infantry troops, later became known as "Charleville muskets", after the armory in Charleville-Mezieres, Ardennes, France. The Charleville musket was a .69 caliber French musket used in the 18th and 19th centuries. The 1717 was replaced eleven years later in 1728 with a model using three barrel bands to hold its 46 3/4 inch barrel in place. Changes in the 1740s included the standardized use of a steel ramrod in 1743 and, after 1746, newly manufactured muskets had the pan/frizzen bridle removed. Further refinements were made in the 1750's and 1760's.
