Davide Pedersoli & Company

Davide Pedersoli & Company has been manufacturing historical firearms reproductions since 1957, when founder Davide Pedersoli set out to create something different: firearms that weren't just cosmetically accurate, but functionally and ballistically true to their originals.

The company manufactures every component in-house—barrels, locks, stocks, triggers, everything. That's the reason Pedersoli firearms command respect worldwide. There's no outsourcing to cheap suppliers. No corner-cutting. Just meticulous reproduction work.

Pedersoli's catalog covers nearly three centuries of firearm design:

Muskets & Military Rifles - Brown Bess (.75 caliber flintlock) - 1766 Charleville Musket (.69 caliber, French flintlock) - 1853 Enfield (.58 caliber percussion) - 1859 Sharps Infantry Rifle (.54 caliber) - 1861 Springfield (.58 caliber) - 1862 Richmond Type III (.58 caliber) - 1854 Lorenz Infantry Rifle (.54 caliber)

Pistols - Bounty Hunter (flintlock and percussion, .45 and .50 caliber) - Continental Dueling Pistol (percussion .45) - 1850 Underhammer Cook Target Pistol (.36 caliber)

Shotguns - Classic Side-by-Side (12 gauge percussion) - Coach Gun (12 gauge, Civil War era design)

Caliber Options Span Wide

Choose your ignition method based on historical period and shooting preference: - Flintlock (25 models in stock)—true 1700s experience - Percussion (40 models in stock)—more reliable than flintlock, still historically accurate - 209 Primer (1 model)—modern convenience without losing authenticity

For builders and hobbyists, Pedersoli offers unfinished rifle and pistol kits. You get all the parts and the experience of assembling a historical firearm yourself. Popular kit models include the Brown Bess (.75 caliber), Bounty Hunter pistols (multiple ignition types), and various rifle kits.

All Pedersoli firearms are covered by a two-year mechanical warranty from the date of purchase.

That's confidence in the product. Every rifle ships tested and ready to shoot.
