These replicas are intended for collection, display and decoration only. The locks on the replica firearms are mechanically functional but are completely safe and non-fireable, requiring no federal license to buy, sell or possess them. There may be local restrictions concerning replicas of modern firearms and buyers are responsible for checking before making a purchase. Replica edged weapons are not intended for use and cannot take a cutting edge.
The Enfield Short Rifle was a percussion-lock rifle used extensively by both the North and South in the Civil War. It was generally well regarded for its accuracy and reliability. It was also used by British infantry of the period. Made at the British Government armory at Enfield, near London, the muzzle-loading rifle had a blued finish to help prevent rusting and fired a .577 caliber conical ball. This non-firing replica is authentically styled and detailed.
