Craig ive read that 14,000 of the 1842s had their barrels rifled and 9,000 or so had rifle sights fitted to them for the rifling and these were used by the C.S.A with the 69 cal mini balls . I also read they were more accurate than the enfields but had way more recoil . though I don't see how a 750gr mini at 800 fps has alot of recoil ? That's about 1 3/4 oz (764gr) I think . Craig I bet you would love one of those old "bore" rifles used back in the day of the empire .
By april I should have my 3rd 10 bore double im going to have to reload those rst shells are pricey but good
