WTK: Commonality between Miroku 1863 Type II and 1861 Springfields

[buckandball]

For those familiar with the Miroku 1861 and 1863 Type II Springfields... Will an 1861 barrel/bolster drop into the 1863 stock? Just curious if the mortise for the lock and bolster is the same... did they use the same stock for both models...

Regards

Ben

Yes, they are pretty close. Way better than any of the Italian which are way oversize and heavy.
