This was my son's #1 want for Christmas. And he carries it everywhere (and would sleep with it if we let him). The toy itself is very durable and my 9 yr old sees no wrong.

My complaint is with the packaging. Even though the rifle comes in a box, there was a UPC on the stock of the gun, that caused a mark on the finish when you removed it. Also, for some reason they used a nail to attach the gun to the package. This caused a real blemish on the gun stock when we pulled it out with a hammer. As I said, my son sees no wrong - but he doesn't see the clothes on the floor when I tell him to clean up his room. I just wish that for the money spent they had used product packaging that didn't permanently damage the gun.

The reviews are accurate for the catagories given, but I would give it 2 stars for the packaging that damaged it.

We bought this for my 9 year old son who is very into the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. He was so excited when we received it! We've had it about 6 weeks and he uses it almost everyday with kids in the neighborhood. It has been dropped, used by many different kids and is still holding up well. We did have to oil the trigger as it started to stick but the oil fixed it immediately. The only tricky part is learning to use the roll caps with the trigger. Takes a little while but they figure it out. I would recommend this to others ans I'm buying one as a birthday gift for my son's friend.

My son has Asperger's, so authenticity and durability are a must. We've been through so many plastic guns, its not even funny. I was so happy when we found this gun. The craftsmanship and details are wonderful. It's one piece of thick wood and metal, so its made to stand up to his many realistic battle scenarios. So far, its outlasted any plastic gun he's owned. No breaking means no tears, which means happy boy and happy parents.

My son really loves anything that deals with the Civil War. He's in a play at school and this was perfect! He is so proud and loves that it even says Civil War. Thank you for the speedy shipment! We both appreciated it!

My boys love these muskets... one problem though... The wood around trigger area breaks easily. I have one still functional, three that need to be fixed. A recommendation... Before you let your kids play with them, crazy glue a small plate of metal on the side to reinforce it. It would be a lot easier to prevent than to fix after the faxt.

My son was so excited when we ordered this musket for him. I was extremely disappointed when it came. It was packaged in an oversized box, with just a few pieces of packing paper that wasn't enough to make padding. Since I was ordering something brand new, I figured it would be packaged, which it wasn't. Also, there were scratches. The biggest deal is that there's no way to load a roll of caps. The title states *Bulk Roll Caps*. That's very misleading. His other cap guns have a compartment for the roll to go in, and feeds through as he shoots. This one he has to put a short strip in and manually feed it through. What fun is that??

This is the second one of these guns I have had. This gun holds up for a long time. I like playing with my gunn when we play army.

My son's only complaint was that the noise made by the gun firing the caps "wasn't loud enough". The gun is very well made, and who knows....maybe the caps don't have as much umph as they used to?

It was almost Halloween and I needed this gun to complete my costume. I read the first review on this gun and it seemed pretty good to me. It only took two days to get here and when it did it looked like a small package and it was really light, but once I got it out it had a few loose pieces and the orange cap on the end fell off, but if you are looking for a good gun just to play with and a prop for anything, then you need to get this gun,

Son loves this gun. Civil War musket was a huge hit since he's so into the Civil War video game. Well made & simple. Delivered right on time just before Christmas.
