    Greetings all,

    I've been so busy with things that I haven't been on here in about a month, but I've still picked up a few things. One of which was this Model 1863 Remington Zouave rifle that is in amazing condition! There were only about 12,000 of these made, so they're fairly rare. This thing is like a time capsule straight from the Civil War! The bore is like new and it still has the extra nipple and bullet worm in the patchbox! Not bad for a 161 year old rifle. This is the nicest Civil War firearm I've ever owned, and it'll definitely be a centerpiece in my collection for a while!
