READ CAREFULLY! (1) All firearms, barrels, and processes listed in this document are approved by the Board of Directors for use in shooting activities of the North-South Skirmish Association, Inc. They have received “Production Approval”, which means that as manufactured they are pre-approved for skirmish use. An arm or barrel which has been altered or modified must be submitted to the Small Arms Committee for individual approval and must be issued a Small Arms Committee approval card before it can be used in a skirmish. It is the responsibility of the skirmisher to find out if planned or executed changes might void the existing approval of an arm or a barrel, and to submit altered production arms and/or barrels to the Small Arms Committee for consideration. If you are considering making any changes to an approved arm or barrel it is good practice to discuss it first with a member of the Small Arms Committee. 2. The Small Arms Committee must individually approve custom-made arms for which the maker does not have production approval, and a Small Arms Committee individual approval card must be carried for that arm as evidence of that approval. -
Federal Ammunition for Civil War Breechloading Carbines and Rifles
Federal Ammunition for Civil War Breechloading Carbines and Rifles Dean S. Thomas According to the "Statement of ordnance and ordnance stores purchased by the Ordnance Department from January 1, 1861, to June 30, 1866," the United States Army procured more than 427,000 assorted breechloading carbines and rifles during this period.' Additional quantities were purchased from the manufacturers by various Northern states, volunteer regiments, and individual soldiers. In all, more than twenty different brands found their way onto regimental ordnance returns, and each, with rare exception, required their own peculiar form of ammunition. Captain James G. Benton of the Ordnance Department described these weapons in his book, Ordnance and Gunney: The term "breech-loading" applies to those arms in which the charge is inserted into the bore through an opening in the pered by gas leakage at the breech joint-or lack of obtura- breech; and, as far as loading is concerned, the ramrod is tion.

National Park Service Manual of Instruction for the Safe Use of Reproduction Breech-Loading Carbine and Rifl e in Interpretive Demonstrations TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Part I: Introduction 1 Part II: Nomenclature 5 Part III: Inspection and Maintenance 7 Part IV: Drill 10 Part V: Misfi re Procedures 27 Part VI: Laboratory 29 Part VII: Demonstration Critique 31 4 PART I - INTRODUCTION This manual sets forth the procedures that must be followed by persons demonstrating single-shot breechloading carbines and rifl es to the public in areas administered by the National Park Service (NPS). It also provides instruction on proper maintenance, inspection, and repair procedures. This manual must be used in conjunction with the service wide standards for Historic Weapons Firing Demonstrations (NPS-6 Guidelines for Interpretation). The information below largely comes from primary sources of the period during which the weapons described were used. Several generations of NPS historic weapons personnel have modifi ed these original texts in order to improve demonstrator and visitor safety, make the original texts more comprehensible and to incorporate knowledge gained from years of actually using these weapons in the fi eld. The Park’s Certifi ed Historic Weapons Program Supervisor is responsible for the training and safety of the demonstrators, as well as the safety of the visitors. The following criteria will help determine when a demonstrator has been adequately trained. 1 THE SHARPS CARBINE This manual mainly deals with the use and care of reproduction Model 1859 and Model 1863 Sharps carbines, which were the predominant carbine used during the American Civil War and are by far the most popular reprodction cavalry arm used today. -

In the Civil War era, the horse soldier reached the pinnacle of perfection with flashing steel sabers and last-repeating carbines.

Gatling, Docteur En Médecine Et Inventeur De Machines Agricoles
ParParPar Gérard Hawkins orsque, le 15 avril 1861, le président Lincoln proclama l’existence d’un état L insurrectionnel dans l’Union et décida de faire appel à 75.000 volontaires à recruter parmi les milices locales, le Nord n’était malheureusement pas en mesure de s’engager dans une guerre offensive de grande envergure. Commandée par un septuagénaire malade, le général Winfield Scott, l’armée US pouvait à peine aligner 16.000 officiers et hommes de troupe. Quant à la marine, ses effectifs se limitaient à quelque 8.000 officiers et marins répartis sur 42 navires éparpillés aux quatre coins du monde. L’Union s’attendait à un conflit bref et limité bien qu’une analyse en profondeur eût indiqué le contraire. Ses réserves en ressources humaines et industrielles excédaient certes celles de la Confédération mais, en 1861, elles étaient seulement potentielles. L’étonnante victoire des Confédérés à la bataille de Bull Run le 21 juillet 61 aux portes mêmes de Washington allait définitivement dissiper les illusions dont s’était trop longtemps bercée l’Union et inciter le Nord à fournir un effort militaire accru. La guerre a de tous temps stimulé l’esprit inventif des belligérants. Tel fut certes le cas en 1861 où inventeurs et génies en herbe s’efforcèrent de concevoir des machines à tuer toujours plus performantes. Les journaux du Nord annonçaient d’ailleurs à leurs lecteurs que l’ingéniosité yankee produirait bientôt une « arme absolue » qui mettrait rapidement fin au conflit. Alors que le très sérieux Scientific American encourageait les innovateurs potentiels en ces termes : Il y a une demande énorme pour des modèles améliorés d’armes, de canons, de projectiles, d’obus, de grenades explosives et d’accoutrements militaires en tous genres, le colonel James Ripley, chef de l’Ordonnance de l’armée US, déclarait dans un mémorandum daté du 11 juin .. -
