    Wiping sticks…a plains and mountain thing?

    Here is a 1794 mention of wiping sticks, although not in a pleasant way. See the bolded line in the third paragraph. My 3rd G-Grandfather survived this fight.

    Remington used their old tooling for the model 1841 to produce thier 1862 contract rifle. The lock and barrel profile are almost the same. The stock and furniture was patterned from the Model 1855 Rifle. The result was a blend of both rifles.
