I don't know if A.Zoli makes Enfields, but they make other CW muskets. The one I got, a Zuave, was a stinker. Got it from Dixie. Lockplate was warped slightly and slowed down the hammer, about 25% ignition! Then the accuracy was non existent with minies, all would group like a shotgun and keyhole! Just not as good as the older Navy arms ones I saw, so I sold it!
