Forage cap (m58) pattern - looking for one

05-10-2012, 02:33 PM

Hello, everyone!

I haven't posted in this forum in quite a long time. I have a quick question: I am looking for a CORRECT pattern for a Federal model 1858 Forage Cap. Any information would be a huge help. Thanks!!

The US Pattern Book can help you. It does have the m1858 forage cap pattern. Good luck on making a cap.
