Congrats Patrick ...

Well, all the other rifles are oddball things like Trapdoors and Sharps. All Yankee small-bore stuff, really.

There is just one solid British rifle which shoots a bullet that makes the others look like toys.

The pic is not the best quality when enlarged and difficult to tell , but the chap on the right hand side looks like he has a P1853 based rifle ? The chap on the left it looks like a Snider conversion ?

I tried to increase the size, but to no avail. Stop hiding, Patrick and tell us who the winner is.

OK, "by popular demand", all will now be revealed!

From left to right, the rifles are:

Springfield Trapdoor, underhammer, Sharps, Tryon, Sharps (?), Sharps ... all of US origin.
And all "small-bore" by comparison with the 0.577 of an ...

... 1858 Enfield 2-band. Held by me, of course

So you´re the civilized looking cove on the far right?
