Collectors and precision shooters often look for rifles that blend historical character with practical shooting attributes. Military-style Flobert muskets occupy a unique niche: they offer straightforward single-shot operation, distinctive period features, and a level of precision that surprises many shooters when set up correctly.

GERMAN MILITARY BELGIAN THREE BAND FLOBERT MUSKET RIFLE

This military style three band Flobert rifle features a full-length 28″ barrel and a three-band stock configuration that recalls late-19th century military tooling. The action works properly and the metal shows a brown and grey patina that confirms genuine age and service history. Item code AL5884 is useful for quick reference when checking inventory or asking questions about the piece.

Design and Practical Attributes

The three band configuration secures the long 28″ barrel along the stock, improving rigidity and contributing to consistent barrel harmonics — a key factor for repeatable group size at modest distances. The 28″ barrel length favors a tighter sight radius and steady velocity for Flobert loads, making it well-suited to target practice and historical shooting demonstrations.

Single Shot Simplicity

As a Single Shot category firearm, the rifle emphasizes deliberate, controlled shooting. That simplicity reduces moving-part variables and makes maintenance straightforward for collectors and range users alike. Although a specific caliber isn’t listed, Flobert rounds are typically low-recoil and economical for recreational shooting.
