OK,
I"m headed to the Antique arms show in March. I'd like to get a Civil War Era Rifle.
Budget about $2K is what I guesstimated.
What would I be looking for?
Although my primary purpose is collection and possibly display in the home. Am I out of my gourd to believe I could buy something I could shoot once a year? (put say 2-3 very light loads through it once every couple years)?
I was thinking a Springfield 1861 or 1863
