Two Band 1863?

[WBR10654]

I assume there are two band 1863 Springfeild muskets that are legal to shoot but could omeone confirm.

If so I need the specs for such a rifle.

Sorry I don't have the specs for you but I just obtained an SAC card for a two band 63 so it can be done.

I shoot one, they are considered a "Razeed" musket. (I have seen Razee used too) It's basically a battlefield reissue that has had the stock and barrel cut down to 2 bands. To the best of my understanding they were CS Reissue muskets. I am by no means an expert on the history of them, so if anyone has more info, please provide it.

There are 1861 and 1863 two band rifles aka so called Artillery Rifles, I believe with two barrel lengths ( 33 and 32 inch lengths) and the CS razeed or collected and repaired rifles. Go to the 1st thread above this one that you started and get the contact info for John Holland. Tell him what you want to do and he can supply you with the spec sheets and tell you how to get the SAC card.

I have a 1861 Colt Special 2 band Artillery model. It's built by Bly with a Whitacre barrel. I found a stock and original Colt parts then Bly put it together. Its light and shoots great! I'd recommend contact SAC and find a build sheet.

Thanks, i have the spec sheet for two 1861s and one 1864 so i was just checking where this one fell into if at all.

John just set up two locks for a Colt Repro that i have. it is the rifle i started with in 2000 but then moved on to n 1855. Considering going back to it but I will decide once i get the Artillery none done. Three musket set up i not a bad thing.
