    I measured with digital gauge. Will there be a person or place at FT Shenandoah that can double check that and make sure my carbine is in shoot able condition and fit me with a bullet?

    your best bet is for someone to step up here to meet you. I don?t know of a formal place to take your Burnside to get what you want done. Any Burnside folks available to help?

    A most worthwhile thought. The problem is - there is generally a shortage of Burnside advisors because at most times many are tied up getting psychiatric help.

    Is there a place at Ft. Shenandoah that i can purchase what i need? Will someone there be able to make sure my Burnside is in working order to fire?

    Does Sutlers Row only open at big events? Been there 2 times and have not seen it open.

    Burnside

I believe the Sharps' massive receiver and barrel, backed up with the extremely strong falling block means it will not suffer any ill effects. This is my opinion.

    I read your reply. May be that is why firing the Burnside on You Tube shows them filling the nylon cartridge with powder and then setting ball on top with butter chamber it and them cap it and fire with no problems? The Burnside nylon cartridge has a gas ring at top for expansion and is sealed when chambered?
