Look in the approved firearms list and any 2 band rifled musket listed with
"as altered to artillery rifle" is a post war conversion.
There were so many converted by Bannerman and others for military schools,and then sold to persons going west.etc.Fuller in his book has one Springfield record that says they made two [2]from 1861's
Anyway so many nice ones were around in the 50's and cheep that they were grandfathered in as approved weapons.
Many of the post war Fladerman shotgun conversions they even made repo trigger bow assy and because they were removed to be used in early trapdoors.That was back when the .Gov was frugal
If shooting,fixing,making and thunking were easy.Everyone would be doing it.
There are four types of homicide: felonious, accidental,
justifiable, and praiseworthy.
