Smoothbores for the 116th PA Inf

Does anyone know of any period reference as to what "smoothbores" were initially issued to the 116th? Most modern day references suppose that they were M1842 muskets. I had seen one reference that they were the M1816/22 conversions. Does anyone have any period referrals to the type of weapons they carried?
