First time post. I have been working on a U.S. Military rifle collection and have worked my way back from an early M-16 slick-side to the civil war era . Wondering what to look for concerning revolutionary war period. Charleville, Brown Bess, other ? Will be going replica not original due to cost, availability, shootability. One fellow I talked to said early on many of the citizen- soldiers brought what ever they had at home. Many farmers with only one firearm. Smoothbore for shot, buck or ball. Any ideas much appreciated. Thanks
