Want to buy Civil War reproduction rifle

[dave951]

Ok thank you for the direction. I passed on the Parker Hale p58 only because it seems a bit overpriced. What I am thinking I’m going to do is buy a Zouave rifle for a couple hundred bucks to have an easy way to get my feet wet while continuing to look for an original. It seems to me that I will be able to practice loading and shooting just as well with a Zouave as anything else. Then I’ll have some money left over to jump on a more quality rifle in the future.

If the bore was good, that price is a bit on the high side but not out of line. Even so, a "Zouave" is not suitable for reenacting, but can be a great shooter. Follow the basics on shooting minies and you'll find out why we in the N-SSA use them as a very competent starter musket.

I’m looking to buy a reproduction rifle to get my feet wet in civil war weapons and possibly reenactment. I’m interested in a sharps, Springfields and Enfields. It seems like they are sold out everywhere so I don’t know where to get one.

For reenactment, you have to talk to your unit first. Some will allow basically anything that looks "close enough" (including smooth-bore Indian guns with pipe for a barrel, in units that fielded antebellum muskets) but most will have a specific list of approved weapons for authenticity purposes.

@OP - somehow you lucked in on a Parker-Hale 2 bander rifle without really trying. This is the unicorn rifle for many shooters over here who participate in medium-range target shooting out to 600 yards with one, as mentioned late week by David Minshall, a well-known and highly-regarded luminary in the British MLAGB.

Find another?

Unlikely in the short term, TBH.

I think you will have better luck if you upload photos of your rifles with a picture of your username and timestamp written on a piece of paper it makes them look less suspect

Will anyone venture a guess on the value of these three vintage, original pieces in totality? Thanks.
