Developed at the end of the Ancien Régime under the supervision of the artilleryman Gribeauval, the model 1777 rifle was used during the long period of the wars of the Revolution and the First Empire. Its manufacture was subject to rigorous controls which made it the first weapon produced in a standardized way, with interchangeable parts. The 1777 rifle is, moreover, at the origin of a "weapons system", which means that from the model intended for the infantry, different versions were developed for use by officers, cadet gentlemen, dragoons, artillerymen, cavalrymen and marine troops. ????
