Fayetteville, Richmond and Cook & Brothers are well known names when it comes to Confederate long arms. What about Tennessee Rifles and other unmarked Confederate manufactured long arms? Read more about a Confederate Made "Mississippi" Rifle - Attributed to Overton.

For information on Tennessee Rifles and Vicksburg Rifles, check Dean Thomas' Roundball to Rimfire Part 4. Both were modified civilian rifles.

 

[Story]

"Bailey telegrammed "We send you a gauge for your guns.", and implied that they out to actually use it to insure consistent bore diameters."

Heh.

$27.5k? Ambitious.

As always Mr. Prince delivers a superb write up on his wares. For those who do not have the fortune to own a large library of research books the current listings and selection of formerly available listings that Tim keeps posted provide an excellent source for the arms student.

If any of our members are in the Denver area I would recommend a trip to the Colorado Gun Collector's Association show this weekend. The College Hill Arsenal will be there.

Very nice. If I only had that kind of money to spare, such is life.
