Whitney delivered 4,000 of these "hybrid" muskets based upon the 1808 Federal Contract Model to the state of New York between 1808 and 1812. His modifications and improvements to the guns over the standard 1808 specifications greatly influenced the specifications for the 1812 Federal contract muskets.
