This is a nice authentic Civil War Enfield pattern rifle. This is the classic style that was carried by soldiers throughout the Civil War. This one was made by the firm of Potts & Hunt and is so marked on the lockplate of the musket. It also has the "LONDON" production location. Potts & Hunt were known to have produced weapons that were imported to the Confederacy. The action works well on all positions. The barrel is full-length and has the correct London inspector proof marks at the breech. It is marked "25" which is the English way of marking the bore as .577 caliber or 25 Gauge. The bore of the gun has some of the rifling all the way down with a dark dirty look. It has the original rear sight base remaining and the front sights is still present as well. The stock has a dark ancient tone all over with a nice used but not abused look. You can see that the shoulder stock was thinned down during the time of use and they did a fine job trimming it down. The gun has had the original sling swivels on the underside of the gun removed long ago. The ramrod in the channel underneath the barrel is an original. This is a nice looking Enfield pattern rifle with the desirable Potts & Hunt maker mark.
