These guns were smoothbore and the main difference from an ordinary musket, was that the sharpshooter musket was fitted with proper sights. Rear sight moves in a brass lined socket. The ramrod had a sharp pointed end that could be used as bayonet. These guns were used by the ski troopers about ca.1790-1794.
