this is a springfield not an enfield

[MMSMikey]

@john25226 no, this is an enfield. I bought it I would know.

[john25226]

@john25226 the gun is silver and enfields are not silver they are black

[MMSMikey]

@john25226 I removed the black paint from my enfield years ago

okay man please answer my questions..lol okay. my gf's dad bought one of these. and it says 58 cal. so is it .577 or .575? and what size caps do you use?

[MMSMikey]

@ibanezkid07 I prefer to use the 575's, make sure they are greased up. I use No. 1081 Vorderlader-Zundhutchen size caps. they are the best caps ever made.

I have an original 1847 Springfield, .69 cal smooth bore. Still works and I carry it into battle with me against the yankee scum!  :D

Nice sound!

@MMSMikey oh ok

[Bigsquid91]

Exactly why the Civil War went bad for everybody involved. Using old outdated musket-oriented tactics with accurate rifle muskets.

@mfsm67 i use the .575's from dixiegunworks greased up in bore butter. mine is an armi sport as well.
