Hi!
I am currently looking for a rifle in .54/58 round ball in either flint or percussion for easy 50yds target work.
I stumbled across the Mississippi M1841 Rifle from Euroarms/Armi sport, AFAIK it is or better was a volunteer rifle (wow, that sounds kinda degrading :hmm: ).
If you guys dont mind, I would really like to hear some opinions about that rifle!
What really makes this rifle unique is that it uses the musket lock and musket cap for a round ball barrel in a handy package with a medium caliber.
Sounds like a winner to me. :hatsoff:
I am building up a rifle collection mainly arms from the civil war, was the Mississippi rifle used in the civil war? Would be a nice addition.
Thanks! :bow:
