Just curious Valjhun if your musket has a rifled bore. I seem to remember that British issued guns, to be used by British soldiers were rifled and those meant for non-British troops were not. This meant that British troops had more accurate rifles.

No, interestingly, it is not ribbed... A sepoy gun I guess...
