    Can anyone identify what kind of Enfield this is? Thank you
    Shoot small, miss small. Or shoot small and hit small!

    The front barrel band looks like one from a Martini-Henry, if that's a bayonet lug on it.

    Yeah I notice that. This picture is from the Washington Blue Rifles at an N-SSA skirmish. I don't recall ever seeing a 2 band Enfield quite like this one.

    Enfield

    Looks like a bar-on-band Enfield.

    Dan is correct, it is a P-58 Bar-on-Band Enfield. Although many were imported for use in the Civil War they are difficult to find today.
