Modern reproduction of 17th Century English Doglock muskets.

This page features Flintlock Muskets used in media other than the Brown Bess, Charleville, Jezail and Kabyle (and all their variants), which are the most popular flintlock muskets seen on screen.

Flintlock Muskets are long firearms, that completely replaced Wheellock Muskets and mostly replaced Matchlock Muskets (in some regions of Asia and Africa, matchlocks were used until the 19th century). The name comes from the use of a piece of flint wedged into the hammer that, when the trigger is pulled, strikes the frizzen and creates a spark that ignites the gunpowder.

N.B. Virtually all Flintlock Muskets seen in films or television productions are modern reproductions, due to historical specimens being highly expensive and unsafe to fire due to age- or conservation-related concerns.
