I also like the sling set-up. A loop on the trigger housing is something I don't recall ever seeing.

Dean-the P1853 was the second most common rifle used in the US Civil War and used by both sides-most were imported from Britain but some were made locally in the North-if you've seen the film 'Glory' the Black regt, the 53rd Mass Inf were equipped with them.

Tango-good example of the iconic weapon of 'The Thin Red Line'-I have a modern replica '3 bander' made by Parker Hale.
