This non-firing replica is highly collectible and would be suitable as a wall hanger, discussion piece, or for the civil war reenact-er on a budget.

We originally purchased this at Stoneham's Armory on Steinwehr Avenue in Gettysburg, PA (home of the second "bloodiest" battle of the American Civil War) in the Summer of 2010 for the sum of $260.00 USD. We are currently asking for $200 but will entertain any fair offers. This item is priced to move! We don't believe that you could find this deal for this style of London Armory stamped Enfield replica rifle anywhere else online. If you can, leave the link as a comment and we'll consider a valid change/match in pricing.

History of the Original: This British pattern 1853 rifled musket became the Confederate standard rifle of the Civil War. The Enfield was reliable, quick-loading, and accurate. It was a vast improvement over the previously used smoothbore Flintlock Muskets.

If interested, contact through Cragslist or the ORIGINAL Pittsburgh Pickers Website.
