🔥 Restoring a Piece of History: The 1861 Enfield Musketoon 🔥Good morning, firearm enthusiasts! At Etsebeth Gunworks, I recently had the privilege of breathing new life into a 164-year-old Pattern 1861 Enfield Musketoon in .577 caliber—a rifle that’s seen wars like the Crimea and the American Civil War. As a inspired gunsmith my mission was clear: preserve its originality while making it functional for my arsenal. The result? A rifle that looks cherished, with its scars and stories intact, ready to fire today.Check out the photos below to see the journey! The first image shows the barrel and stock, where I carefully maintained the brass fittings and weathered wood. The second captures the trigger guard and grip, a testament to its age and my attention to detail. The third reveals the lock mechanism, stamped “1861” and “VR” (Victoria Regina), a proud mark of its heritage. Every scratch and stamp tells a story I felt honored to preserve.Firing this piece regularly connects me to its past— a feeling I’ll never tire of.
