Functioning replica of one of the finest firearms of its time
Shoots a .577-caliber minie ball
Walnut stock, blued barrel, case-hardened lock with brass accents
Pedersoli created this accurate, fully functional version of one of the finest military firearms of its time, the Enfield 3 Band P1853 Percussion Rifle, for shooting and display. The Enfield Pattern 1853 Rifled Musket was the result of several studies conducted by the British War Department with an emphasis on improving the caliber and size of its main infantry battle weapon. While similar to its predecessor, the Pattern 1851, in appearance, it offered a number of refinements. The gun shot a .577-caliber minie ball, greatly enhancing its range and accuracy. It was also fitted with a ladder-type rear sight with a slider for adjustments. Three steel bands secure the 39" blued barrel to the walnut stock. All other accents are brass and complement the case-hardened lock. Ramrod tip is shaped with a characteristic jag slot. Three-groove rifling with 1-in-78" rate of twist.

A fully functional replica of a Civil War-era firearm
Compact size made it ideal for artillery and cavalry units
Shoots .577-cal. Minié balls
Pedersoli's Enfield Musketoon P1861 .58-Cal. Short Percussion Rifle is a replica of Enfield's short rifle made from 1861 to 1865. It improved upon earlier, longer Enfield firearms made in the 1850s by increasing the barrel's rifling grooves to five and tightening the rate of twist to 1-in-48". This made the gun more accurate than earlier-made longer Enfields in spite of its smaller size. When combined with .577-cal. Minié ball ammunition, it was a devastating battlefield weapon. It also addressed the need for artillery and cavalry units to have shorter, more maneuverable firearms. The 24" barrel is fitted to the walnut stock with two steel bands. It's outfitted with a straight, ladder-style rear sight with a slider. Apart from the bands, all other garnitures on this firearm are made of brass. The ramrod tip is shaped with a characteristic jag slot and there is a hook with a ring in front of the trigger guard. Five-groove rifling with 1:48" rate of twist. For use with .577-cal.
