Part Number: AAN-950
The Enfield rifled musket, and the special hollow base Minie bullet that allowed quick reloading, achieved fine accuracy, and much longer range than the round ball muskets of an earlier generation.
Unlike U. S. Springfield muskets, the Enfield musket is trimmed in brass. Stocked in walnut, the stock has a rich dark red brown color. The tapered round 33" barrel is rifled with three wide lands and grooves.
Used, this musket has some light wear in the walnut stock and barrel bluing, and some light pitting in the bore near the muzzle, but is in overall excellent condition.
Enfield muskets were imported and issued by both the North and the South. The Confederacy purchased Enfield muskets from neutral England, and brought them into the south, at great risk, aboard the blockade runners.
