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 known as "Charleville muskets", after the armory in Charleville-Mezieres, Ardennes, France.

The Charleville Musket is 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 1750s and 1760s. During the American War of Independence, the French Government supplied large quantities of muskets, with the most common the Charleville Model 1763, to the Continental Army.

Charleville Mle 1777 and its improved version Mle 1777 corrigé en l'an IX (Model 1777 corrected in the year IX (1800)) became the main infantry weapon of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The design of Charleville Mle 1777 was used for a number of models, produced in various European states, like Austrian M1798, Russian M1808, Prussian M1809, and Dutch M1815. In 1830s a large stock of Charleville muskets were converted from flintlocks to percussion locks and served until replacement with Minié system rifled muskets.

French 1777 AN IX model Cavalry Flintlock Carbine - .69 caliber

The Model 1777 Cavalry Carbine (Mousqueton de Cavalerie) became the standard weapon for most French cavalry corps at the turn of the 18th and 19 century, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. It was manufactured from 1777 until 1815 and went through several updates along the same lines as the Charleville musket, creating the An IX and An XIII variations (the most notable difference between the models being that the An IX model shortened the wooden stock making the weapon lighter and less bulky whilst keeping the same barrel length). This weapon has a couple of unusual features which distinguish it from most other cavalry carbines. Firstly, along with a sling bar mounted on the left side of the carbine, it was also fitted with a pair of normal sling loops for if it was used in the dismounted role or by infantry. Secondly, it is fitted with a bayonet lug on the bottom of the muzzle. Due to the overall short length of the carbine with the bayonet attached this was of questionable utility and was very seldom used, more commonly being used as a hand tool or discarded all together.

The Model 1777 Cavalry Carbine and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:

Model 1786 Hussar Carbine

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Model 1786 Hussar Carbine (modern Pedersoli "Ussaro Mod 1786" replica) - .69 caliber

The Model 1786 Hussar Carbine (Mousqueton de Hussard) was, as the name suggests, a carbine developed for the French Hussar regiments. The Hussars were true light cavalry who specialized in scouting and raiding, so an even lighter and shorter carbine was desired. The Model 1786 can be easily distinguished from the Model 1777 by its very short stock relative to the barrel, along with the apparently short ramrod (the ramrod actually extends all the was back into the buttstock of the carbine). Similarly to the Model 1777, it was also strangely fitted with a bayonet lug, although this was rarely (if ever) used by the Hussars despite the fact that the bayonet was always issued. Eventually, during the Napoleonic Wars, the Model 1786 gave way to standardization and was replaced by the standard An IX Cavalry Carbine.

Model 1816 Cavalry Carbine

French 1816 Cavalry Flintlock Carbine - .69 caliber

The Model 1816 Cavalry Carbine (Mousqueton de Cavalerie) is the smallest carbine based on the Charleville musket. It is most recognizable by its lack of a ramrod leading to a slimmer stock and characteristic simpler barrel band (to which the front end of the sling bar running the full length of the side of the carbine attaches). The ramrod for this weapon was carried separately slung around the body, meaning that it could not be dropped whilst reloading on horseback, which was a significant issue for cavalry carbines of the time.
