Re: Correct North Carolina Infantryman Arms
One of the things i have been doing is trying to find out how long the troops where carrying the 42 Springfield, so i could give a more accurate impression of a NC soldier. But one of the things i have found is that in many of the photos of the living or dead soldiers from north Carolina is that there is not hardly any photos of them carrying 42's at this point in the war. Instead i found that there is mainly 53 enfeilds and 61 Springfield. Something that i think is that there is not that many confederates carrying 61 Springfield in today's reenacting. We need moor confederates carrying 61's at this point in the war. I also found a bunch of photos with the troops carrying the Mississippi and Fayetteville rifle. Unfortunately we cant carry these rifles.
