1863 Richmond Musket 1863 Richmond Musket |
This was the most common Confederate made Longarm. It is 58 caliber. The markings on the barrel are a VP (viewed and proved) along with the date. The lock is marked CS Richmond 1863. The arsenal was taken over by the Confederate Government that is why the CS appears on the lockplate. The nose cap is brass, the butt plate is iron. When the lockplate is removed there is no cutout in the stock for the Maynard Tape Primer. |
