    Tom,

    Try "The British Soldier's Firearm, From Smoothbore to Smallbore 1850 - 1864" by Dr. C.H. Roads.

    Thanks!

    This book is out there, but expensive!

    Will try the interlibrary loan route.

    Thanks again for the tip!

    bar on band

    You might contact Tim Prince at College Hill Arsenal. Tim deals in a lot of imported CW arms and is a wealth of information. He is, however, a full time dealer so if he doesn't have time to directly answer your questions I'm sure he can recommend places for you to look for the information you are seeking.
