Wes/Tex said:Yes sir, the originals were made for PRB and issued to the Regiment of Mounted Rifles in time for the Mexican War. The most famous users of the type during that era was the 1st Mississippi Rifles who broke the back of Santa Anna's troop's charge at Buena Vista (Angostura), February 22, 1847, led by a young Lt. named Jefferson Davis. By the mid-1850's many were being converted to .58 caliber for the many militia units around the country. Ironically enough, the replicas were first brought out in .58 and later switched to .54 with a slower twist to duplicate the originals.
