Try going to gunboards.com or surplusrifle.com. Both have forums where you can post pictures of your firearms and ask for help identifying them. The people on both sites are very knowlegeable about antique military weaponry. If nothing else, I'm sure they can point you in the right direction from there. Good luck. -Jimpie

Did the rifle musket revolutionize the US Civil War?
Many military experts believed that the rifle musket would have a major effect on the US Civil War. One outstanding feature of this weapon was its increase in range in comparison to the smoothbore musket. In actuality, official reports on US Civil War battles indicated that the expectations, for example, of being able to hit long range targets would cause more casualties. Actual combat situations however continued to be short range battles between the opposing forces. The 500 yard range of a rifle musket, with no modern day scopes, made it difficult to make accurate hits on faraway enemy targets. Also, the arc of the minie ball when fired at long range targets made it extremely difficult to gauge and aim the rifle effectively.
