Brunswick Rifle - American Civil War rifles

The Brunswick rifle was a large caliber (.704) muzzle-loading thumping rifle manufactured for the British Army at the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield in the early 19th century.
The Brunswick had a two groove barrel designed to accept a "belted" round ball. There are four basic variants of the British Brunswick Rifle (produced in .654 and .704 caliber, both oval bore rifled and smooth bore). They are the Pattern 1836, the Pattern 1841 , the Pattern 1848 and the Pattern 1840 Variant. The weapon was introduced to replace the Baker rifle and weighed from over 9 to over 10 pounds without its bayonet attached, depending on the pattern.
