British "Brown Bess" musket used in Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815)

Brown Bess is a nickname of uncertain origin for the British Army's Land Pattern Musket and its derivatives. This musket was used in the era of the expansion of the British Empire and acquired symbolic importance at least as significant as its physical importance. It was in use for over a hundred years with many incremental changes in its design. These versions include the Long Land Pattern, Short Land Pattern, India Pattern, New Land Pattern Musket, Sea Service Musket and others.

The Long Land Pattern musket and its derivatives, all .75 caliber flintlock muskets, were the standard long guns of the British Empire's land forces from 1722 until 1838 when they were superseded by a percussion cap smoothbore musket. The British Ordnance System converted many Flintlocks into the new Percussion system known as the Pattern 1839 Musket. A fire in 1841 at the Tower of London destroyed many muskets before they could be converted. Still, the Brown Bess saw service until the middle of the nineteenth century. Some were still in service during the Indian rebellion of 1857, some were used by Zulu warriors who had purchased them from European traders during the Anglo-Zulu War in 1879, and some were sold to the Mexican Army who used them during the Texas Revolution of 1836 and the Mexican-American War of 1846 to 1848. One was even used in the Battle of Shiloh in 1862.

Most male citizens of the American Colonies were required by law to own arms and ammunition for militia duty. The Long Land Pattern was a common firearm in use by both sides in the American Revolutionary War.

 Beiter V-Box

The Beiter V-BOX is the base of a multifunctional dampening system for stabilizer systems. The stiffness of the V-BOX can be modified with the interchangeable membranes which have different properties. The system is completed by weights and compensation spacers which can be mounted with different screws, threaded studs and adaptors.
Beiter Centralizers can be ordered with 5/16"-24 inner or outer weight adapters at no extra charge. But the V-box is compatible with almost all available stabilizer systems. On systems using a 5/16 thread, the Beiter V-BOX can be mounted on the standard thread that comes with the stabilizers, while for stabilizers using 1/14 threads, inner and outer thread adaptors to a 5/16"size are available.

. How does the Beiter V-BOX system work?
The various stabilizers on the market have different rigidities. Archers may find rods too stiff, and sometimes also too weak. With a multifunctional and customizable dampening system, such as the Beiter V-BOX, each stabilizer can be adapted to the respective shooters needs. This customization is achieved with the membranes and their different degrees of stiffness, and also through the use of the available weights and spacers. This combination can affect not only the weight distribution, but by their inertia, in combination with the Beiter V-BOX, the entire damping behaviour.

Where should, or can, the weight be attached?
Weights can be attached in front of and behind the Beiter V-BOX. An optimal set up will involve placing weights both sides of the V-BOX. #5 and #7 membranes can support max. 10 oz in front of the V-Box. Attention: the #1 membrane supports max. 5 oz. The weight of the BeiterV-BOX unit is 1.75 oz - 49grams). As an example at a total weight of 16 ounces, the weight could be distributed like this: 2 x 3 oz weights and 1 x 1 oz weight in front of the V-Box and 3x 3 oz weights behind. If you want to shoot a less stabilizer weight, the distribution of the weights can be adjusted by using the spacers. Due to the lever effect, shifting the weights forward on the screw changes weight distribution and dampening, achieving the desired balance with less weight than usual! Thanks to the combination of weights, washers and membranes in 4 different stiffnesses, innumerable different settings and options are possible.
