    1864 Colt Musket

    Maybe the picture, but the hammer makes it look like a Model 1863 Springfield, Colts had rounded hammers like P53 Enfield's. I believe Bobby Hoyt can line the barrel so that you have rifling, but it would be for shooting a minie ball. If the slot isn't disturbed, you can buy a replacement rear...

    Hall flintlock, congressional issue.

    I remember seeing one of these issued by Congress for sale in one of Flaydermans old catalogs. Such a great story.

    Rogers rangers musket photos please?

    It also depends on what time period, early war or later. When the companies were raised, most came with the gun they owned. A few might have showed up without a gun, but the men that came to these companies were mostly used to being in the woods, and would have been armed.

    WITHDRAWN M1855 Rifle Musket

    Bump. Still up for trades. Civil War items would be tops for me, but interesting in flintlock rifles and fowlers, maybe a Sharps repro. ( Shiloh or Pedersoli) or something like a high end defarb like from Lodgewood. Doesn't have to be another firearm when it comes to civil war items. Swords...

    WITHDRAWN M1855 Rifle Musket

    It truly is. It was America's military first rifle to be issued to everyone, not just rifle companies. It brought the US army on par with all the militaries in the world at the time it truly was a modern gun. It was issued to both sides during the Civil War, the only rifle musket that was on the...
