In 1763 France adopted a new infantry musket.
The new gun was found too heavy and was replaced after only three years by the 1766 Model, and more than 150,000 were made between then and 1769. After this date it has been replaced by the Model 1770/71 and the muskets given back from the soldiers have been used in 1775 when the American Independence War started and France distributed numerous 1766 muskets to the troops of the new born United States of America.
