F and I carbines

[Ranger 1755]

I am researching F and I carbines for a future build. It is documented that the 1744 carbine for horse, as modified in 1748 and the 1756 artillery carbine were in North America during the conflict. What I am looking for is primary source documentation to "rifled carbines" that is mentioned in Dewitt Baileys books and the Annotated and Illustrated Rogers Journal by Todish and Zaboly. Little is known about them. Please do not reply with conjecture, opinions or what you think they coulda woulda shoulda had. Thank you.

Searching Rogers' Journal on Google Books, "rifle" does not appear. I would be very surprised if his units actually had them.

Again it is who are you trying to document. Regular armies had smoothbores. When you get off into militias it is very hard to document. I guess a Jager would be close.
