These are designed and intended for the .69 caliber US Model 1842 Rifled Musket, and their dimensions are taken from the 1856 “Reports of Experiments with Small Arms for the Military Service” by the US Ordnance Department.

My Reenactor Blank Tubes differ from the Live, genuine article in only one way: they contain no lead! Instead, the projectile is replaced by a cornstarch based, water soluble foam. Otherwise, these cartridges are constructed and function in exactly the same way as their deadly counterparts. They come to you EMPTY, but ready to fill and fold right out of the box! They are biodegradable, chiefly constructed of recycled material, and best of all: SAFE TO RAM!

If you would like arsenal wrappers and labels with your tubes PLEASE visit the Stamps & Labels page to make your selection, and notate it in the Add-on section of your order! If no selection is made, none will be included.
