Friends -
While I know that many English-made Whitworth rifles were smuggled into the South to use for long-range shooting, I'm unable to find much hard information about these rifles. I've seen the caliber reported as both .54 and .45, and I've been able to find no information on the brass telescopic sights.
If there is a website that discusses these rifles, I would appreciate a pointer. Or a cite to a book would also be welcome.
Thanks,
