They were U.S. 1841 contract rifles made by a variety of makers. Tryon, Robbins & Lawrence, Whitney, Remington, etc. They bear a resemblance but the butt, patchbox, nosepiece are all different. Originals were made in .54 but 8,879 were rebored to 58 during the War Against Northern Aggression. Repros abound.
