Product Description

The Brown Bess Rifle, serving from 1799 to 1815, holds a legendary status in military history as the primary firearm of British infantry during the Napoleonic Wars. Renowned for its reliability and simplicity, the Brown Bess played a crucial role in shaping the tactics and outcomes of numerous battles across Europe.
