It saw service throughout Europe as well as Canada and Mexico. It was used in the war of 1812, at the Alamo and the Mexican war, however this rifles' real claim to fame occured during the Napoleonic period
under Admiral Nelson and Sir Arthur Wellesley,(The Duke of Wellington), prior to Waterloo.

There were many variations of this rifle made by different manufacturers from 1800-30's, combining
different patch boxes, calibers, (.62 & .69), and hardware,
