Hi there!
Since you guys gave me some good insight on my last post, I want to ask another question straight away! Did people use half stock plains rifles during the American Civil War? I know that one unit was outfitted with them at the beginning of the war (the 66th Illinois Volunteers), but were there more units that used them? Did individual soldiers bring their own to the war effort and is there evidence of this?
I once again apologize for my less than stellar english and thank you guys for your awesome insights and help.
Sincerely,
LeadShark
