Can anyone tell me what rifle/rifled musket these figures are sculpted with?
I was planning to use a few in the Indian Mutiny to portray troops in Home Service dress but I'm almost sure these aren't Enfields? |

I believe they are Enfields. The Enfiled was adopted by the British army in part in 1851 and as it's standard infantry arm in 1853. It was adopted by Canadian militia in 1856, although one platoon of Canadian militia carried breech loading rifles at Ridgeway. The British army adapted their Enfields into breech loaders, the Snider-Enfield, in 1867-68, after the ACW. So I think it's a pretty safe bet Perry's BIF figures are carrying Enfields. |

Excellent! Thanks very much! Which means I can easily convert some for the Indian Mutiny by adding a havelock covering their Kilmarnock! |
