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.

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.

This material may be used freely by individuals for research, teaching, and personal use as long the Virginia Military Institute Archives is cited. Letters included from other sources are identified in the text and given their proper attributions. See endnotes for details about the names and topics highlighted in bold type*. Many of the notes also contain links to additional material. Background: Following the raid in October 1859 on the Federal Arsenal at Harper‘s Ferry, Virginia, by the abolitionist John Brown,* officials in Virginia were convinced that the state‘s defense forces, the militia,* needed to be improved and better armed. In 1860, the Virginia General Assembly passed legislation to improve the militia and to arm it appropriately. By law, the U.S. Secretary of War was not authorized to sell U.S. arms to individual states, beyond the issue of their annual quota,* unless the U.S. arms had been condemned. Consequently, the options open to the state of Virginia for acquiring additional reliable weapons were either to retool and refurbish its supply of flint lock muskets, or to purchase arms from private gun makers in the north, or to purchase arms from abroad (prices were considered excessive), or to manufacture its own arms.

  • Deadlands Armory
    Rifles Part II. Breech-Loading and Metal Cartridges Breechloaders Since the dawn of black powder, gunmakers have explored ways of loading firearms from the opposite—and significantly closer!—end of the barrel. Hinged breeches, loading gates, and detachable chambers date back to the matchlock period, and even Henry VIII owned a few guns loaded in a manner not unlike a “Trapdoor” Springfield. However, such experimental firearms were prohibitively expensive, and never achieved anything more than novelty status among the wealthy. It was not until the nineteenth century that improvements in engineering techniques and ammunition types made breech-loading firearms a viable alternative to muzzle-loaders. A New Age In the early1860s, breech-loading firearms finally began to supplant muzzle-loaders. While the difference may appear minor—the rifle is loaded from the rear of the barrel, rather than the muzzle—the implications are enormous. Faster to reload, requiring less auxiliary equipment, and easier to clean, breech-loading rifles could achieve significantly higher rates of fire—up to ten rounds a minute in the hands of an experience shooter! They can also be reloaded from a prone or sitting position. The trade-off comes with an increase in complexity, as breech-loaders require some form of mechanical “action” to open the breech, expose the chamber, and reseal the breech. Most breech-loaders are classified by the system used to accomplish this process, which usually involves the movements of the “breechblock,” the metal component which physically seals the breech-end of the barrel and permits the rifle to be fired safely. Merrill Carbine with the breechblock opened, 1858–1861 COPYRIGHT 2018 BY A.
