[QUOTE="TheDoubleD, post: 3501207, member: 43754"] I learned today that this gun most likely belonged the Town Militia of Payton in Somerset County, England. In 1798 Napoleon formed and invasion fleet to invade England. From 1803 to 1805 in anticipation of that invasion, South Eastern England went on full alert. Every town and Village formed its own group of Volunteers into a Town Militia to protect in case of that invasion. What you looking at in this gun is an 1805 civilian issue Assault Rifle-it does have a bayonet. An 1805 AR if you will. [/QUOTE]
