  • What happened to the enfields?

    Hi guys,

    I was wondering what happened to all the enfield rifle muskets after the war?
    I know a number of springfields were converted to trapdoors and that many revolvers were sold out of service on converted but what was the fate of the enfields?

    I am, &c.,

    Hallo!

    The majority of the P1853 4th Model "Enfield' that the Italian reproductions are based on were never issued, but rather went into storage.
    Many were later reconfigured as breechloading "Snyders."
    ;) :)
