Greetings all,
I recently picked up this P-1853 Enfield rifle made in 1861. This one was made by Pryse & Redman, who was a known supplier to the Confederate Army. It does not have any Confederate acceptance markings, so it may have been one of the many that was captured through the Union blockades. I wish it could talk! Either way, it makes an awesome addition to my Civil War collection! The rifling and mechanics are in great condition, so it should be a good shooter. I just need to find some time to go to the range! By the way, I found this at a flea market!
