W M. Muir and Co. Model 1861 Contract Rifle-Musket.

[drm2m]

If you are interested in this kind of stuff, I would like to recommend two books,....if you don't already have them.

The first book....I would buy before the book on socket bayonets...unless you are really into socket bayonets and scabbards.

The first books deals with all the guns (including handguns) and the relevant sabre type bayonets.
It is done in a sketch form as opposed to a photo format, and the descriptions are very detailed.

This book is also worth a read....it has been around for a long time as a serious reference book on the subject of "The Rifled Musket".
