In this episode, we learn about the 1817 Common Rifle. This weapon was still seeing use during the Civil War with Confederate units and others such as the 1st California Calvary. You will learn why it has the name Common plus get to see two original Common Rifles! One is still a flintlock and the other has been converted to use percussion caps. Thank you to Jason Krausz and the rest of the team at Agents Campbell and Pelican’s Military Goods for bringing us this history to share.
