Army rifles

[Mathias]

Hi i just thought that i should show you all some picktures of my new (or old rifles)that i was lucky to find at a auktion before christmas.

The one at the top is a 1860's rifle by colonel Wredes disign,cal.479 it was our last muzzleloader before we adopted Remingtons rolling block in fact they took the barrels from the 1860's and fitted them to the Remington action.

The one below is a 1855 one of about 2000 pcs that was comissiond from belgium cal .606 mine

best regards Mathias
