Does anybody make a smoothbore musket in 69 caliber with percussion cap ignition?

There was a copy of the Springfield Model 1842 percussion musket being made a couple of years ago. I think Dixie Gun Works carried it.

The ArmiSport Springfield 1842 Musket is still available. It is a very well made and useful gun. It is one of my favorite guns and is effective with either shot or ball loads. Dixie has them and I think Taylor's does as well.
